@@moony7144 Euric claimed most of Iberia years after they established their kingdom in Toulouse, you’re thinking about his son: Alaric II where they lost most of their land due to Clovis I. The breviary of Alaric, which was a law code revised from the code of Euric, was already making Roman and gothic laws that applied to both Hispano-Romans (those living in Iberia) and the goths themselves. Iberia was a perfect place to conquer due to mountainous terrain and large plains that offered good agricultural, military outposts, and of course the abundance of resources like olive oil, gold, wool, wine, etc. and also to control the western Mediterranean. Why do you think the visigoths initially were planning to sail to North Africa? Why do you think that the Romans prior established hispania as one of its first outside provinces? Know your history before you say Iberia was just deserts and mountains. The only backwater place in Iberia at the time was galacia (due to the suebi kingdom established there) Asturias, cantabria, and the Basque Country because of how underdeveloped it was, there were few Roman roads and the Romans couldn’t easily conquer it, same with the Visigoths until the 7th century where they christianized them instead.

@@sebe2255 The reasons for the conquest of the visigothic kingdom could not be understated. There were major political strife within the kingdom’s later life span that saw a lot of civil wars over kingship. This is why in the battle of guadelete, half of Roderic’s men betrayed him and his nobility and killed him and most of his nobles in the process. After Roderic’s death this made every village and city fight for its self which were feeble resistance against the Muslim horde. For example Achila II and his men died fighting the Muslims and got their city razed to the ground, others like Theodomir, a viceroy of king Roderic successfully repulsed the Muslims to get a favorable peace treaty of ruling Orihuela as a vassal Christian kingdom, but this was taken over 60 years later. It was the band of the surviving members of Roderic’s nobility of men that fled to cantanbria (since it was a visigothic duchy since Wamba or Wittiza) and made a collation with the Hispano-Romans and celts. The reason why the reconquest took so long was played from both sides of the war with the Hispano-gothic crowns of Asturias, Leon, and Castile doing that classic fiefdom of splitting the land with the king’s heirs (sons) while also on the Muslim side calling out aide from North Africa to help protect Al-Andalus because the northern kingdoms were kicking their asses really bad. In the end though, the Spanish crowns of Castile and Aragon successfully repulsed the Muslims and United (with the exception of Portugal) most of the peninsula in a manner to that of the visigothic kingdom which was considered the Hispanic kingdom.

Swedes, Goths, Ostrogoths and Visigoths? Thank you for mentioning us three times, brother! (Just kidding, but there are old theories linking the Geats to the Goths.)

[@the_kimchi_kommandant2603]

I think he means the Swede tribe not the modern Swedish population but yeah it was weird seeing Goths mentioned 3 times

[@vergil8833]

Not really the same. The Visigoths and Ostrogoths were a combination of alot of people picked up on the way south. Meanwhile "Goths" in general were referred to as the people from the "Island of Scandza" which is the penninsula of Scandinavia which means Norway and Sweden. Norwegian tribes were also considered gothic. But if we follow the linguistic lines then the specific goths of Gotland are quite different, but thats not what the goths themselves referred to as goths. The same way all the times with Germany were called germanic, all the tribes north of Denmark were called goths, and of course those of them who migrated southwards like the visgoths, ostrogoths, Rugii and so on. But considering that all germanics come from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden it only makes sense that they would technically be mentioned multiple times here. Technically they're mentioned every time.

[@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105]

@@vergil8833 Yes that's true. Goths were most likely a Pan Germanic group, just like the Huns were a Pan Asiatic group.

Monocultural countries are better than multicultural ones. Safer and cleaner. You can see this in Iceland and the white majority states in the USA. Europe was like this too until they started flooding their countries with economic migrants. Now crime, rape, violence is rampant. Look at France or Sweden. Funny how many Western Europeans look down on Eastern Europeans while eastern European cities are much safer and much of Western Europe doesnt feel like Western Europe anymore.

There are interesting parallels between them. One was called Savages the other Barbarians, and they both made life on the frontier harsh as hell and bitterly resisted the great power houses of their time, their foes just as formidable. People back then were just built different man. I hate the "noble savage" stereotype as it kind of ignores just how crafty both of them were capable of being, like how Apache tricked the Spanish into building a fort on Comanche territory, and how the Germanics obliterated three whole legions at the ambush at Teutoburg.

Hence why Russia was created by Germanic vikings who subjugated the Baltic Slavs (who actually invited them back after their wars to govern them because they were that basic and divided and needed a king authority figure). The Turkic people and Mongols come centuries later.
