💡 Analysis & Explanation
[Geopolitical Migrations]
Central Asian history is defined by massive, cascading tribal migrations triggered by warfare and resource scarcity.
[Conflict Trace]
The Shakas (Scythians), originally nomadic pastoralists roaming the central Asian steppes, were forced into a massive westward and southward exodus.
[Key Adversary]
Ancient Chinese chronicles historically document that this profound displacement was primarily caused by a devastating military defeat at the hands of the fiercely expanding Yueh-chi (Yuezhi) confederacy.
Conclusion
The Yueh-chis were responsible for pushing the Shakas towards the Indian subcontinent.
