the Gauls emerged around the 5th century BC as the bearers of the La Tène culture north of the Alps (spread across the lands between the Seine, Middle Rhine and upper Elbe). By the 4th century BC, they spread over much of what is now France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Southern Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia by virtue of controlling the trade routes along the river systems of the Rhône, Seine, Rhine, and Danube, and they quickly expanded into Northern Italy, the Balkans, Transylvania and Galatia.

Gaul is France, in a way. Gaul was not a country, it was a territory. We generally consider present day France as Gaul, but ancient Gaul encompassed much more territory than France alone. It ranged loosely from Germany to Spain and from northern Italy to the English channel. It was inhabited by mostly Celtic tribes.
Gaul was not a people but a territory (modern France, Belgium, the south Netherlands, western parts of Germany and northern Italy). It was inhabited by the Celts in the Iron Age. About 900BC, tribes of Celts advanced even westward. Britain also was inhabited by the Celts before the Roman rule. The area north of the Alps was occupied by the Romans (Julius Caesar - 58-51 BC - was called Transalpine Gaul, and remained under Roman rule until the 5th century AD. The territory of modern France was garadually invaded by the Goths, Franks and Burgundians after 330.ce today.
The Vandals were a Germanic tribe of people who were warlike and active in Gaul and Spain in the 5th Century. They destroyed Rome in 455 AD. The Vandals name derived from the Germanic word Wandal, meaning wanderer
The Huns conquered the area around Hungary. Attila forced several of the local peoples to become allies/client states. Other peoples invaded Gaul to escape the Huns. These were the Vandals, Sueve, Alands and ,possibly, the Burgundians. The Vandals raided Gaul, moved to Spain and eventually established a kingdom in Africa. The Sueves and Alans settled in Portugal and areas of Spain. The Burgundians established a kingdom in the Rhone valley area of Gaul. The Alemanni of southern Germany took advantage of this invasion to take over Switzerland, Alsace and Lorraine. Thus, Attila contributed to invasions in the Western Roman Empire, loss of lands and destabilisation of the empire. Attila also tried to invade Gaul, but was defeated and repelled by a combined army of Romans, Franks and Visigoths. Soon after this he died and his empire collapsed.
