Why did the barbarians decide to attack the roman empire?
Michaela1220
Especially in the 4th and 5th centuries CE (or, AD), various "barbarian" tribes moved into the Roman Empire in search of material riches and even new lands in which to settle. A number of these tribes had been pushed out of their original home-lands by equally aggressive tribes from farther north or east; some of them were simply attracted by the richness of Rome itself.

Some barbarian tribes immigrated into the roman empire, but the Romans didn't give them any food (the visigoths) so they started to rampage. Some barbarians were forced out of their homes, and had to migrate to other places (Saxons).

Not only that, as a result of this, some of these peoples became romanised. Some Roman traders also travelled deep into a part of Germany which was along the trade amber route to Poland, deeper than anywhere else. There were romanised trading settlements along this route deep into Germany and some of its inhabitants were half Roman.
