History witnesses a constant spatial mobility of human beings for political, economic and ecological reasons. This mobility has occurred individually or collectively in various dimensions, in the historical process. Human mobility, which started in the 4th century AD and continued uninterrupted, with the Migration of Tribes, known as the first great mass migration, has affected almost the entire globe. Especially the nationalist movements that left their mark on the 19th century and the wars and emerging new developments further accelerated this process.
