The Persians took Armenia and reconquered central and southern Iraq from the Romans. The Huns who were from Central Asia attacked the Empire, but did not invade it. The Visigoths and Ostrogoths came from Ukraine, but were allowed to settle in the Roman Empire. Therefore, the easternmost European people who invaded the empire were the Alans, an Iranian-speaking people original from Ukraine who had been pushed into central Europe by the Huns and invaded Gaul in 406 together with three Germanic peoples who also had been pushed into central Europe by the Huns, the Vandals (they were originally from eastern Poland and Belarus) Sueves (the were originally from eastern Germany and western Poland) Burgundians (they were originally from southern Poland

∙ 11y agoIn terms of the easternmost part of the Roman Empire, it was the Persians from modern day Iran. They attacked the Roman Empire and retook Iraq from the Romans, which previously belonged to them. They also invaded Armenia, but they were pushed back.
In term of the provenance of the invaders, it was the Huns. They tried to invade Gaul, but they were pushed back. They probably were originally came from the steppes of Central Asia and then settled in what is now Hungary.
The eastern part of the Roman Empire in southeastern Europe suffered invasions by the Goths and Scythians (Iranian-speaking peoples) from Ukraine, but they were pushed back. The western branch of the Goths (the Visigoths) was later allowed to settle in the Lower Danube area of the empire.
The western part of the Roman Empire was invaded by Germanic peoples (the Vandals, Sueves and Burgundians) and the Alans (an Iranian-speaking people) form central Europe. These Germanic peoples were originally from northern Europe. The Alans were originally from Ukraine.

∙ 9y agoI guess that you are referring to the invaders of the Roman Empire (the Romans came from the same place, Rome). The Roman Empire suffered many invasion over several centuries before the final invasions which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The easternmost invasions were by the Persians, along the eastern border of the empire in Asia. The Persians and Rome fought each other for centuries and conquered each other's territories several times. In Europe the easternmost invasions were in the lower Danube area and Greece. These invasions were by the Goths and the Heruli who lived in Ukraine.

∙ 8y agoThe western part of the Roman Empire was invaded by two Germanic groups, the Vandals and the Sueves and an Iranian-speaking group, the Alans. At the time of the invasion, the Vandals lived in the Roman province of Pannonia (along the mid-Danube river, in present day eastern Austria and western Hungary) where they had been allowed to settle by the emperor Constantine the Great. The Vandals were original from southern Scandinavia and had moved to Silesia (in present day Poland) and then to present day north-eastern Romania. They moved to Pannonia because they had been put under pressure by a westward expansion of the Goths. The Sueves were originally from Hesse, in central Germany. They were an alliance of tribe. They also expanded into some areas of northern Germany and later they played a major role in the formation of the Alemanni, another federation of Germanic peoples who pushed into southern Germany. At the time of the invasion, the Alans lived in Pannonia with the Vandals. A federation of Ostrogoths, Alans and Huns was allowed to settle there by the emperor Gratian in 380. In term of origin, the Alans were the ones who had come from further east.
It is thought that The Alans were an amalgamation of Iranian-speaking peoples which originally lived in what the Chinese called Yancai (Vast Steppe) which was centred near the Aral Sea (a large lake between n Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia during the period of the Han dynasty. It was subjugated by the Kangju, a people who had a kingdom in Central Asia, in the first century B.C. This caused westward migrations of the locals. The Alans became the dominant group among the Sarmatians (Iranian-speaking peoples) who lived between the Sea of Azov (which linked to the Black Sea by a strait) in Ukraine to the Caspian Sea, between by Russia and Azerbaijan. In the early third century A.D. the Goths expanded into Ukraine and the Alans migrated to the west of the Sea of Arzov and the River Don. With the Hunnic invasion in 370 some Alans came under Hun domination, some stayed in the Caucasus and some moved west to the Hungarian plain by the River Danube. Due to pressure from Germanic people, they then moved west again, to Pannonia.

What people invaded the northern parts of the roman empire and why?
When the Holy Roman empires was obliterated, it was destroyed by tribes of Slavs, Vandals, and other Gothic tribes, who made a point of coming in from a north-east or north-west direction and BYPASSING the northern areas of the Empire, since it had no great value to them aside from random plundering due to it being a branch-off and was mainly used as farming and small towns; the "meat" of the Empire lay in the East and West. As such: there was, in fact, no "northern" roman empire. The empire, when it was eventually split and destroyed due to a huge number of causes -best outlined in the book The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, written by Edward, Gibbon- was separated into the Western and Eastern halves. The Eastern half came to be known as The Byzantium Empire. The Western half became known as Mediolanum. This last attempt at a more wide-reaching "civiliaztion" ended in ~480AD. After that time, it would become informally, and then formally known as "The Dark Ages."

Why did Charlemagnes empire not survive?
Under Frankish law, a kingdom did not pass to a single heir, but was distributed among the heirs. Under the Carolingian Empire, this was modified only to the point of having the empire go to a single heir, but there were numerous kingdoms controlled by different kings. The various kings quarrelled, and the overall emperor was only able to get support from his own kingdom, not from the empire as a whole, so the empire passed to a powerless state. Later, it was revived, but France remained separate from it; in this revived form, it was called the Holy Roman Empire.

Who are the visigoth?
The Visigoths were the western branch of the Goths. The Goths were original from Sweden and migrated through eastern Europe all the way to Ukraine. When the Huns invaded their land, some of the Goths asked the Roman emperor to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the Huns. This was granted. The rest of the Goths were conquered by the Huns and became their vassals. The Goths in the Roman Empire then came to be called Visigoths (Goths of the west) because at that point they lived further west than the other Goths. The other Goths came to be called Ostrogoths (Goths of the east).
