Edit this paragraph history

Since the first century A.D., the Romans have known that they lived in the Danube Valley. It is also said that they are actually immigrants from Gothland Island (now Sweden) in the Baltic Sea to Central Europe. In the 4th century AD, the Gothic nation split from within. Some of them became the later Visigoths, that is, the Gothic Army.

These are the visigoths, who live in Romania today. Another tribe became ostrogoths, that is, ostrogoths. They migrated eastward until the lower reaches of the Danube and established towns near the Black Sea. As soon as the Huns appeared, they launched a fierce attack on the two branches of the Goths. Unable to resist, the visigoths were forced to move westward to avoid the fate of genocide. The Otto Goths were not so lucky. They finally succumbed to the powerful force of the invaders, were annexed by other nationalities, and became a part of the Xiongnu Kingdom. The Visigoths continued their westward journey and soon found a place suitable for survival and development in today's Spain. At this time, the Roman empire had gradually begun to decline, and the Romans tried to bring the Visigoths into the jurisdiction of the empire. But the Visigoths were finally able to declare their independence and strength by force, and then establish their own sovereign kingdom through constant attacks. They wiped out the whole Italian and Greek regions with irresistible force, and during the period of 407-4 10, barbarian troops led by alaric, the leader of visigoths, besieged Rome, the former imperial capital, three times, and broke the Goths.

After three days of looting in the city, I was richly rewarded. After that, the Visigoths continued to advance westward, and finally established a kingdom with Spain and Gaul as the main bodies. In the late 5th century, Frank Clovis drove the Visigoths from France to Spain outside the Pyrenees. With the death of Clovis, his kingdom was also divided, which made the Visigoths breathe a sigh of relief. 7 1 1 year, the new threat comes from the south. Moorish (North African Muslim) troops crossed the sea from North Africa, and it took only four years to finally conquer Spain and the whole Visigoth kingdom. At the same time, the fate of ostrogoths is also a history of ups and downs. They have lived under the rule of Huns for decades, but they can still get rid of the shackles, gain independence and freedom through unremitting efforts, and further establish their own kingdom. The territory of the new kingdom is located in the west of ostrogoths's native land, which is roughly equivalent to the position of Hungarians, Croats and Austrians today. The new kingdom and the Byzantine Empire, the descendant of the Eastern Roman Empire, have always had entangled diplomatic relations. After several struggles, they returned to peace. In 488 AD, ostrogoths began to invade Italy, just as their brother did half a century ago. This invasion was instigated by the Byzantine Empire, because the Byzantine Empire wanted to consume the power of these peoples and then rule Italy as a governor. Ostrogoths completely conquered Italy in 493. However, shortly after the death of Theodoric, the outstanding leader of ostrogoths, in 535 AD, the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I sent troops to Italy, and in 554 he completely defeated the Kingdom of East Goth. Finally, the Byzantine Empire restored the territory of ancient Rome in the West, and the Eastern Gothic Kingdom perished. In the late 6th century, Italy was invaded by the neo-barbarian Lombardi, ostrogoths was destroyed, and the survivors collapsed into small groups.

The influence of editing this paragraph

Historically, Goths have always been known for their violent style in Europe. If the Huns hadn't invaded, they might even attack the Gothic cavalry.

Occupy the whole Roman Empire. The tough Huns migrated from the East and attacked many ethnic groups in Eastern Europe, and the Goths, as one of many ethnic groups, were forced to move westward at this time. In order to avoid the Huns' attack, the Goths' residential areas moved westward and gradually moved away from their hometown. Before the Huns arrived, the Goths had a great force to be proud of, and no one could resist their offensive from land or water. The Goths were the first armed force that plundered Rome in history, and this alone made future generations unforgettable. And the order of the ancient world began to collapse in Europe. They appreciated the city of Rome and tried to protect it, so many Roman cultures were preserved. For example, the languages of modern Italy, Spain, Portugal and Romania are all derived from Latin, and then influenced by the residents in these areas, forming the languages of these countries, similar to Germanic languages handed down from Britain.
