The period of French rule

The reign of the Roman Empire was an important stage in the formation of the French nation. After the Gauls were conquered by Rome, they began the process of romanization. Under the influence of Roman slave society, developed slave production relations were rapidly established in modern France. The Gauls here gradually gave up the original Kaelte language and switched to folk Latin. By the time the Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century, Gauls and Roman immigrants had formed Romanized Gauls, also known as "Gaul Romans", which were the foundation of the French nation. In the 5th century, with the decline of the Roman Empire, a large number of Germanic tribes invaded, which was another important stage in the formation of the French nation.
