The Horde was the primary army of the orcs, enslaved by the insidious Burning Legion, which first invaded the world of Azeroth from their home world of Draenor through the Dark Portal (created by the human wizard Medivh and orcish shaman Ner'zhul). They had periods of internal strife, but generally remained united, allying with goblins, forest trolls, & ogres in their efforts to conquer the entire world. They were eventually shattered by the Alliance of Loraeron.
After their defeat at the hands of the Alliance, the Orcish Horde was put into internment camps. For years they stayed in the camps due to withdrawal from the demons' arcane magics. The new war chief of the horde- Thrall, son of Durotan- received the title after the old war chief- Orgrim Doomhammer- was assassinated by the Alliance and passed the mantle on to Thrall. One of the first things he did as warchief was to gather all the orcish clans willing to come and leave on the advice of an odd stranger (Medivh, who had returned from the dead) and head west across the ocean to the forgotten lands of Kalimdor.
The Orcs (now returned to their shamanistic roots) met the jungle trolls and the Tauren, eventually meeting up with the Alliance and night elves, then coming in contact with the Burning Legion once again. The Alliance, night elf Sentinels and Horde helped to defend Mount Hyjal. After the battle, the Horde and remnants of the alliance of the three left and went to other areas in Kalimdor.
The Orcs later founded the country of Durotar. So far, the Horde is keeping up the non-agression pact with the Alliance.
