Where did Ostrogoth come from?
The Ostrogoths were a branch of the larger Gothic group, originally stemming from the region around modern-day Scandinavia. They migrated southward, settling in areas of Eastern Europe, particularly around the Black Sea, before eventually moving into Italy during the late Roman Empire. Their name, "Ostrogoth," means "Eastern Goth," distinguishing them from the Visigoths, who settled in the west. They played a significant role in the decline of the Western Roman Empire and established a kingdom in Italy under Theodoric the Great.

What form of government ruled the roman empire after the fall of the roman republic?
During the decline of the western empire there were Germanic invasions, continued usurpations, and weak leadership. The Western Roman Empire became a puppet of the Eastern Roman Empire. With the fall of the western empire, several kingdoms were set up by the Germanic invaders who took over areas of the western empire: the kingdom of the Vandals in Africa, the kingdom of the Visigoths (Goths of the West) in Spain and Portugal the Frankish kingdom (in most of Gaul and in Belgium, southern Holland, southern Germany and Switzerland), and the Burgundian kingdom in eastern France. The Ostrogoths (Goths of the East) established a kingdom in Italy and much of the former Yugoslavia. The Visigoths took only military control of Italy. They did not interfere with the affairs of Rome and the Latins in Italy, leaving them effectively independent. A war between the Ostrogoths and the empire of the east (the Gothic wars) broke out due to the emperor of the east Justinian I's ambition to recover the lands lost by the empire of the west and make them part of the eastern empire. At the end of this war, which exhausted both parties, the Lombards invaded Italy and established their own kingdom there.
