The "Franks" never conquered Gaul...they lived there. You see, there were many Germanic tribes living in Gaul, which is ancient France and parts of Germany, Austria, etc. Certain tribes conquered and integrated other tribes, so you could say they conquered it, except that everyone was a Frank.

In 480 B.C., It was extremely underdeveloped, so no conquering anything.

In 480 A.D., the Western Roman Empire collapsed, which might be what you are asking, about, not sure. But anyways, the answer is "neither", because the Franks were a Culture Group, and the Tribes in Gaul and Germania were subgoups of the same general blend, if you understand what Im saying.

Hope this answered your question satisfactorily enough
