What is the difference between the huns and goths?
Huns Had fierce warriors they raided Roman territory in the East. Huns and Goths both Attacked Rome Fled into Roman Territory Goths Made up of Visigoths and Ostrogoths Huns were undefeatable Moved into Roman Empire
Why did the Romans stop paying the goths?
It is not known. The Romans started paying a tribute to the Goths around 225 A.D., after they settled in Ukraine, near the lower River Danube area of the Roman Empire, to prevent them from attacking the empire. They probably stopped paying because the Goths did attack the empire. In late 248, the legions of the River Danube area rebelled and proclaimed a usurper emperor. The Quadi and other Germanic tribes took advantage of this to cross the frontier and raid the mid-Danube area of the empire. At the same time, probably temped by the opportunity created by the situation, the Goths invaded the lower Danube area of the empire and laid siege to the city of Marcianopolis (in present day Bulgaria).

Why did the goths begin to move into roman territory in large numbers?
Because they were under the pressure of the westward expansion of the Huns into Ukraine and Moldova. They asked to be allowed to move south of the river Danube, which was Roman territory, for their safety and to avoid being forced to become vassals of the Huns.
How did the Romans deal with the goth invaders?
The Goths did not invade the Roman Empire. The Visigoths (Goths of the West) asked the Romans permission to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the advance of the Huns into Eastern Europe. The emperor Valens granted this in 380 AD. The Goths of the East) were allowed to settle in Pannonia, an area of the Roman Empire on the mid-Danube in the 6th century AD.

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).

What EVENT led to the arrival of the goths in roman lands?
The Goths wanted to escape from the Huns. They came under attack by the Huns who were expanding into their homeland (Ukraine) and then also invaded Eastern Europe. In 375 a Gothic group, the Visigoths (Goths of the west), asked the Romans for permission to settle in Roman province of Moesia to escape from the Huns. This was in the lower river Danube area of the Roman Empire (in present day Bulgaria). It was the area of this empire which was closest to them. The emperor Valens allowed them to settle there 376. The Visigoths became allies of the Romans, but at times they disagreed with them and fought them. The other Goths stayed behind, were defeated by the Huns and came under their domination. A group made up of some Goths, Alans and Huns from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian plains east of the mid-course of the Danube invaded the Roman province of Pannonia. This was on the other side of the banks of his part of this river (roughly modern western Hungary). In 380 the emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then protected Pannonia for invasions. These Goths came to be called the Ostrogoths (Goths of the east). After fall of the Empire of the Huns in 451, other Ostrogoths who had remained under the domination of the Huns joined them in this province of the Roman Empire.
Rome fell in the year 476 to a German tribe called?
The Goths began invading and taking over Roman territory starting in about 376 AD. By 476 when Flavius Odoacer, the first King of Italy, deposed the Roman Emperor Romulus, Rome was no more - in part due to the depredations of the Goths. Note it was primarily two branches of the Goths - namely the Visigoths and Ostrogoths who played a major roll in the fall of the Roman Empire.
