How did Western Europe go from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages?
Basically, the West Roman Empire fell apart. Throughout the history of Roman Empire, Germanic people had been trying to migrate into it. They had been allowed to under certain circumstances, one being that they guard the borders against intrusions. This was especially done in areas that had lost population due to disease or other factors, in order to repopulate the land. In time the armies of Germanic tribes provided most of the officers of the Roman Army, and nearly all the enlisted men in the areas they were defending. The Romans had always allowed client kingdoms within the borders of the empire, and when the Germanic groups wanted their own kingdoms it was permitted. These kingdoms had been reduced to provinces in the past, but in the 4th and 5th centuries, they grew stronger in time, rather than weaker. There were a large number of invasions of peoples during the 4th and 5th centuries, including Huns along with the Germanic groups. Franks, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Burgundians, and Suevi all set up kingdoms, all wanting increasing independence. By the end of the 5th century, the Western Empire had lost all control of these groups and effectively ceased to exist.
