In the 5th century C.E., Rome was sacked twice by "barbarian" forces. In 410, Alaric led a force of Goths (or, Visigoths) into Italy, sacking Rome and other cities. Later, in the 480s and 490s, a force of Germanic peoples known as Ostrogoth's invaded Italy, captured Rome, and set themselves up as the rulers of the conquered territory, thus bringing the Western Roman Empire to its formal end.
The Germanic who invaded the western part of the Roman Empire were illiterate.
The German Invaders of the Roman Empire were often referred as vandals, but were originally called the Goths. ____ The group of Germanic invaders that sacked Rome in AD 410 was the Visigoths, headed by Alaric II.

When the Germanic peoples invaded the western part of the Roman Empire the Romans lost political cohesion and were unable to respond to them. There were usurpations and a lot of infighting. Facing recruitment shortages, the Roman army had come to rely on Germanic mercenaries and of Germanic allies. Lands of the empire were also taken over by the Visigoths and the Franks, two Germanic allies who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire. There were Germanic military commanders who established puppet emperors and held the actual power. Both the Germanic allies and the invaders came to play a part in the politics of the empire, causing further fragmentation.
