What advantage did the Germanic tribes have in their conflict with the Roman Empire during the 3rd to 5th centuries A.D.?

In the third century they did not have a military advantage. The Roman army was better trained and more disciplined and won most of the battles. An advantage these peoples had is that there were many of these tribes and they lived along the long stretch of the vast frontiers of the Roman Empire in Europe. There were many raids, incursions and attempted invasions at distant points along the frontiers . This greatly overstretched the Roman army, and pot it under great strain. Nevertheless, repelled all of them. In the fifth century the advantage was that the Roman army had recruitment shortages and come to rely on mercenaries and that it became overstretched again. Some Germanic peoples invaded Gaul and the western part of the Roman Empire. The Roman army, which had to deal with a rebellion by their Visigoth allies and an invasion of Italy by other Goths (which was repelled) could not cope with an invasion of Gaul as well. Another advantage was that at this point the Romans lost political ccohesion and lacked the unity necessary to respond to these invasions effectively.


What rolevdid Rome's internal problems play in its conquest by foreign invaders?

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.

Both the Germanic allies and the invaders came to play a part in the politics of the empire, causing further fragmentation.
