History
Asians have a long history of migrating internally within Asia. Overland trading routes such as the
Silk Road, and maritime routes through the
Indo-Pacific enabled ancient exchanges. Since the late 19th century, Asian migration has greatly increased because of the impacts of colonialism and globalisation, which enabled new types of migration; for example, European empires' global reach and consolidation paved the way for the Indian indenture system. Increasing border enforcement by modern nation-states has stymied traditional migration flows, however.

Soviet Union.
