Thor

In 965 AD, the Frost Giants of Jotunheim began to advance and conquer the other Realms using the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters. They begin with Midgard, on the planet Earth which is the focal point of the nine realms and the easiest place to connect a stable wormhole in Midgard. Using a wormhole to travel there they were confronted by the Asgardians who were there to battle them and stop their progress. After an unknown length of time the Jotun were finally driven back to Jotunheim, then the Casket and an infant Frost Giant were taken back to Asgard and a truce is established with the Jotuns.

They were stopped by the armies of Asgard and they were all assumed to be killed off. However, when thousands of years later (present day) a ship full of escapees lead by Malekith were reawakened after the Aether was uncovered, they traveled to Asgard to retrieve it. After the destruction of the Bifrost, enemies of Asgard such as Marauders, Frost Giants, Trolls, and Badoon have taken advantage and wreaked havoc across the Nine Realms. After the Bifrost is repaired, the armies of Asgard were sent to reestablish order.between worlds and has acquired the Aether.
