What are germanic invasions?

Germanic invasions refers to the invasions of the western part of the Roman Empire by Germanic peoples which started in 406 and lead to the fall of this part of the Roman Empire. The term Germanic refers to a linguistic group which includes German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English. These Germanic peoples were the ancestors of the people who speak these modern languages. The Vandals, Sueves and Alans (who were not Germanic, but Iranian speakers) from Central Europe invaded Gaul in 406 and settled in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and in northwest Africa. The Alemanni of southern Germany took advantage of this to take over Alsace (in north-eastern France) and most of Switzerland. The Burgundians settled in eastern France. The Visigoths, who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire by the Romans, moved to south-western France and expanded into the Iberian Peninsula. The Franks, who had been allowed to settle in Holland south of the river Rhine and Belgium, expanded into northern Gaul and gradually took over the whole of France. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from the northern part of the Netherlands migrated to Britannia in waves and took it over.
