The first Proto-Indo-European speakers were the Kurgans. They were the first to domesticate horses and use chariots. They migrated west to Europe, east to Siberia, and SE to Iran and South Asia from modern day Russia and Kazakhstan. They moved in search for grassland for their animals. As they established Military superiority, their language began to dominate.
