The Germanic peoples who invaded the western part of the Roman Empire were the Vandals, Alans, Sueves, Alemanni and Burgudians. The Vandals and Alans ravaged Gaul for nearly three years and then went to Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Sueves remained in Hispania and formed a kingdom in the northwest. The Vandals and Alans moved on to Africa and formed the Kingdom of the Vandals in Tunisia and part of eastern Algeria. Hispania was taken over by the Visisgoths, who had previously been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to south-western France. The Alemanni took over Switzerland and north-eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine). The Burgundians settled across the River Rhine and then were moved to eastern France by the Romans. They formed their own kingdom there. The Ostrogoths were sent to Italy by the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire to overthrow an usurper who had deposed the last emperor of the western part of the empire. The Ostrogoths formed their kingdom which covered Italy, the former Yugoslavia and western Hungary.

The Franks, who had been allowed to settle in Holland south of the River Rhine and Belgium, expanded their territories into northern France. After the so-called fall of Rome they gradually took over the whole of Gaul, Switzerland and southern Germany.

The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrated to England in waves and took it over.

What are the two reasons th German tribes moved into the roman empire?

Historians see the Germanic tribes moving into the Roman Empire as part of the migration period, a period where peoples from northern Europe moved southwards, into central Europe and more southern areas of Eastern Europe. This then spillled into the Roman Empire. Population pressure on the land led to conflicts. The Visigoths asked to be allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the empire to escape the invasion of their homeland (Ukraine) by the Huns. The Franks were allowed by the Romans to settle in Holland south of the river Rhine and the Flanders because they were being pressured by peoples form further north who pressed into their homeland. It is thought that the Vandals, Sueves and Alans invaded Gaul because central Europe was squeezed by the Huns settling in the Hungarian plain.


Why was northern Europe attacked more than southern Europe during the middle ages?

The tribes came from the North and when they crossed the Alps into Italy they were first held back by the Romans, but as time wore on and the Roman troops were spread thinner and thinner it became easier for the barbarian tribes to encroach into the Northern Europe and then move down into the southern areas. This was something that didn't happen over night and the Romans also had some barbarian treaties as well as men within the Roman army.

Why was Spain and Sicily the major areas of Islamic influence in Europe?

Spain (in addition to Portugal) and Sicily were not able to fight off Islamic influence as much as other areas. Arabs were able to conquer and immigrate easier to these areas than other parts of Europe. They are also fairly close to Northern Africa/the Middle East, which is where Islam originates and thrives.
