The Goths wanted to escape from the Huns. The Huns were invading Eastern Europe and expanding into the homeland of the Goths (Ukraine). In 375 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 Ostrogoths (Goths of the East), instead, were defeated by the Huns and came under their rule. A group made up of some of the Ostrogoths, Alans and Huns moved from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian plains east of the mid-course of the Danube and invaded the Roman province of Pannonia, on the other side of this part this river (roughly modern western Hungary and eastern Austria). In 380 the emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then protected Pannonia from invasions. The Ostrogoths who had remained in the heartland of the Huns, together with the Gepids, defeated the Huns and destroyed their empire in 454. After this these Ostrogoths were allowed to settle in Pannonia as well.

What threats to the roman empire appeared in th 200s 300s and 400s?

The threats to the Roman Empire during this period were attacks through its vast frontiers from outsiders. In the west the Franks and Alemanni raided the areas in Gaul near the frontier of the river Rhine and (the latter) Switzerland. The frontier of the River Danube in southeastern Europe were attacked by Marcomanni and other neighbouring Germanic peoples in central Europe. Later it was attacked by the Goths (a Germanic people) and the Scythians (Iranian-speaking peoples) from the east and, later still, by the Huns who had settled in Hungary. In 406 the Vandals, Sueves, Burgundians (Germanic peoples) and Alans (an Iranian-speaking people) from central Europe crossed the river Rhine and invaded Gaul. The Alemanni took advantage of this to take over Lorraine (in northwestern Gaul) and Switzerland. These invades plus the Franks (who had been allowed to settle in southern Holland and Belgium) and the Visigoths (who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to southwestern Gaul ) took over all the continental lands of the western part of the Roman Empire except for Italy.The Angles, Saxon and Jutes from northern Germany and the Frisians from northern Holland migrated to Britain in waves at took it over. Along the Asian frontiers of the Roman Empire there were wars with the Parthian (Persian) Empire.
