Nomadic Cushitic and the Turkic Federation differences

[Regg]

I’m one of them who hold the theory that Cushitic people used to be one before they splitted and scattered throughout North East Africa. They’re nomads like the Turkic people who onced lived in Central Asia before they scattered throughout most of Europe and West Asia.

They both shared the same lifestyle but military, they were nothing alike; Cushitic tribes never had the nature of ransacking and pillaging civilized nations like the Huns did.

The Huns formed their own Turkic federation to unite all the Turkic tribes in Central Asia so they could pillage multiple empires and small kingdoms simultaneously, and to spread their seeds on them because of their superior fighting abilities. Large portion of eastern Europe and West Asia are related to the Turks today because of that.

Then you have the Timurs and the Mongols 1000s years later who did the same what their ancestors did.

When the Turkic nation converted to Islam, the Oghuz tribe became the spearhead that carried and protected their religion for 700 years.

The Cushitic on the other hand never had a federation, there was no record of any great military history or conquering much of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The conquest was concentrated in East Africa and the coastal region of Yemen, and the rule was for a very short time to the point where it became irrelevant in today’s history.

So, the question is if the Cushitic are renowned for their warlike nature and nomad lifestyle then why didn’t they expand and conquer nations at large scale, settling in their lands and injecting their seeds on them so the future generation can be part them like what the Huns did?

Terrible geographical dispositions would be the main reason because it is what influences the culture and practices of a group.

I agree with the @alchemist
He's right terrible geography the Highland and lowlands was a huge obstacle the Highlands United but couldn't controlled the lowlands and lowlands United but couldn't move to the Highlands

but their were several attempts at a union

Example gurey invasion to unite with Islam as a unifying force but retreated at the highlands

Or menalik who invaded afar lands and all the way to ogaden but couldn't subdue coastal somalis

Even with empror iyasu who converted to Islam and even tried to make somalia part of the Ethiopian empire that includes both Christians and Muslims so in a way it was a racial state for cushites regardless of religion

SSA has many curses and diseases not found in Eurosia. For one, tsetse fly. This fly transmits a parasite that kills all livestock and humans. Outside of the Horn of Africa, and small parts of Kenya, livestock cannot survive and will die. Outside of highlands and deserts, most of SSA was not habitable. It is also perhaps the main reason that large civiliations did not occur in Africa, farming was done by hand with a hoe rather than using a plough with ox or horse. Or why Sahel nomads couldn’t expand south.

So there was no where nomads could actually expand to, outside of the Ethiopian highlands which the nomadic Oromo did conquer, or north into Sudan which was a desert.

Here is the zone btw:

What I find hilarious is that the Euroasian steppes used to be inhabited by white people until Mongoloid people killed and assimilated them all.

There was a mummy of a Scythian warrior found in Mongolia 2500 years ago that had blonde hair and was white lmao.

White people used to live near China but due to the brutal ethnic genocide of Mongoloids, even Russians are 7-11 % East Euroasian.
