The Anglo-Saxons came to Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries primarily due to the decline of Roman authority and the subsequent power vacuum. They sought new opportunities for land, resources, and settlement, driven by a combination of economic needs and the desire for expansion. Additionally, conflicts and pressures from other tribes in their homelands in present-day Germany and Denmark encouraged their migration. Over time, they established several kingdoms and significantly influenced the cultural and political landscape of Britain.
