The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The Sueves, Vandals and Alans (who were Iranian speakers) invaded Gaul, pillaged it for 2 years and 8 months and then moved on to Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Vandals and Alans then went to north-western Africa. The Burgundians crossed the River Rhine and then were moved to eastern France by the Romans. The Alemanni took over Switzerland and north-eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine. The Angles, Saxons,Jutes and Frisians migrated to Britain in waves and took it over.
