The Heruli and the Vandals were destroyed primarily due to their military defeats against more powerful adversaries, such as the Byzantine Empire and the Ostrogoths. The Heruli faced significant defeat in the 6th century, particularly under the leadership of the Byzantine general Belisarius. The Vandals were ultimately overthrown in 534 AD during the Byzantine reconquest under Emperor Justinian I, which marked the end of their kingdom in North Africa. Their destruction was part of the broader process of the Byzantine restoration of territories lost during the decline of the Western Roman Empire.
