What is the connection between the barbarians and the western roman empire?
The relevance of the Germanic barbarians was that they invaded the western part of the Roman Empire, took over most of its lands and carved it up, each forming their own kingdom. Therefore, their actions led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. Barbarian was a word the Romans borrowed from the Greeks. It basically means foreigners and had the derogatory tone of uncivilised. It expressed the view that foreigners were uncivilised. To the Romans the barbarians were all the people who lived outside the Roman Empire. The barbarians who were relevant the western part of the Roman Empire were the Germanic peoples who lived north of the Roman Empire and two Germanic peoples who had been allowed to settle in parts of the Roman Empire by the Romans (the Franks and the Visigoths). Two Germanic peoples, the Vandals and the Sueves, and an Iranian-speaking people, the Alans, invaded Gaul, which was part of the western part of the Roman Empire. They then moved to Spain and north-western Africa. Spain was, in turn taken over by the Visigoths who moved from the eastern part of the Roman Empire, where they had been allowed to settle, to south-western France and then to Spain. Another Germanic people, the Burgundians, settled in eastern France and another one took over north-eastern France and Switzerland. The Franks expanded from their base in Holland south of the River Rhine and Belgium, where they had been allowed to settle into northern and central France. The angles and the Saxons from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland migrate to Britain in waves and eventually took over this island. Eventually, the Germanic barbarians took over the lands of the western part of the Roman empire and former their own kingdoms in tis former lands.
