    Carpathian Basin

    In 895, the Magyars conquered the Carpathian Basin and finally settled down there. They first took control over the lowlands east of the river Danube and attacked and occupied Pannonia in 900. After the Magyars launched a series of campaigns to Western Europe between 899 and 955 and also targeted the Byzantine Empire between 943 and 972. However, they gradually settled in the basin and established a Christian monarchy, the Kingdom of Hungary, around 1000.
