Why did Arminius choose to betray the Romans and lead the rebellion Teutoborg?

Answer 1

Arminius, a chieftain of the Cherusci tribe, chose to betray the Romans due to a combination of personal and political motivations. Having been raised in Rome and serving in the Roman military, he understood their tactics and weaknesses. His betrayal was fueled by a desire for independence for his people from Roman domination and exploitation, as well as a vision of uniting various Germanic tribes against a common enemy. The culmination of these factors led him to orchestrate the rebellion at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in AD 9.
