Nomadic empires are political entities formed by groups of people who move frequently, often in search of grazing land for their livestock. These societies, such as the Mongol Empire and the Huns, relied on their mobility to expand their territories and influence. Their economies were typically based on herding and trade, allowing them to interact with settled civilizations. These empires often had strong military capabilities, utilizing cavalry tactics to conquer and control vast areas. The Silk Road facilitated trade between nomadic and sedentary societies, leading to cultural exchanges and the spread of ideas. Despite their mobility, nomadic empires could establish complex social structures and governance systems.
