The Huns were a nomadic group from Central Asia, known for their formidable cavalry and warrior culture, who invaded and settled in parts of Europe during the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The Goths were a Germanic people divided into two main branches: the Visigoths and Ostrogoths, who played significant roles during the decline of the Roman Empire. The Visigoths, one of these branches, migrated into the Roman Empire, famously sacking Rome in 410 AD and later establishing a kingdom in what is now Spain and southwestern France. They are known for their adoption of Christianity and contributions to the cultural and political landscape of early medieval Europe.

The Visigoths were the western branch of the Goths. The Goths were original from Sweden and migrated through eastern Europe all the way to Ukraine. When the Huns invaded their land, some of the Goths asked the Roman emperor to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the Huns. This was granted. The rest of the Goths were conquered by the Huns and became their vassals. The Goths in the Roman Empire then came to be called Visigoths (Goths of the west) because at that point they lived further west than the other Goths. The other Goths came to be called Ostrogoths (Goths of the east).
The barbarians who conquered Rome were called the Goths.
The Goths wanted to escape from the Huns. They came under attack by the Huns who were expanding into their homeland (Ukraine) and then also invaded Eastern Europe. In 375 a Gothic group, the Visigoths (Goths of the west), asked the Romans for permission to settle in Roman province of Moesia to escape from the Huns. This was in the lower river Danube area of the Roman Empire (in present day Bulgaria). It was the area of this empire which was closest to them. The emperor Valens allowed them to settle there 376. The Visigoths became allies of the Romans, but at times they disagreed with them and fought them. The other Goths stayed behind, were defeated by the Huns and came under their domination. A group made up of some Goths, Alans and Huns from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian plains east of the mid-course of the Danube invaded the Roman province of Pannonia. This was on the other side of the banks of his part of this river (roughly modern western Hungary). In 380 the emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then protected Pannonia for invasions. These Goths came to be called the Ostrogoths (Goths of the east). After fall of the Empire of the Huns in 451, other Ostrogoths who had remained under the domination of the Huns joined them in this province of the Roman Empire.

A group made up of some of the Ostrogoths, Alans and Huns moved from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian plains east of the mid-course of the Danube and invaded the Roman province of Pannonia, on the other side of this part this river (roughly modern western Hungary and eastern Austria). In 380 the emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then protected Pannonia from invasions. The Ostrogoths who had remained in the heartland of the Huns, together with the Gepids, defeated the Huns and destroyed their empire in 454. After this these Ostrogoths were allowed to settle in Pannonia as well.
