Some of the natural resources that attracted Europeans to Africa in the eighteenth hundreds are gold, diamonds and platinum. The discovery of diamonds in Vaal River was in the year of 1867 which triggered a diamond rush. At first, whites and blacks were independent with working but later on, they consolidated as the mine was getting deeper.
<em>the Gupta empire continued resisting the invasions of the Huns</em>, a nomadic people who lived in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, between the 4th and 6th century.
The Hun invaders were defeated by Bhanugupta in 510. They were also defeated and driven out of India in 528 by king Yashodharman, and by emperor Narasimhagupta.
It is said that such invasions had long-term effects on India, contributing to the end of this classical Indian civilization.
