How Barbarian Invasions ended the Western Roman Empire

In the year 406 AD, a large group of Barbarians crossed the Rhine frontier into the Western Roman Empire, leaving a trail of sacked cities in their wake. In this video, we explore the reasons for this large scale migration, the immediate effects of this upheaval, and the disastrous consequences for the Western Roman Empire.

An excellent video on one of my favorite chapters of Roman history! You earned yourself a new subscriber today!

[@Jackthetattedone]

Fascinating! I'm getting ready to play a boardgame called the Fall of Rome that details this exact scenario and I wanted some more backstory on the game, so I stumbled upon this video. Thanks for putting this up!

Dude, thank you you literally help me pass my essay

[@AWESOMERACECAR2013]

very great detail and quality! also had never thought of the impact of the great wall or how local populations enjoyed the rule of local chieftains rather than the corrupt, overstretched roman government

THE VILLAGES

[@arthur-yq4ic]

civil war after civil war after civil war thats not a sign of a healthy society or empire

[@RPe-jk6dv]

don"t open your frontiers to barbarians.

[@jayhuxley2559]

Barbarian means a person with barba or beard.

One day, I lost control of my body. While sober and still being fully conscious, God started speaking to me and He said "follow me or die." I don't know you or what you've been through, but you matter. I grew up in church always hearing about God but I decided to do my own thing. Doing drugs and chasing girls, among other things. I did it for years and I was depressed for years.. after being arrested I stopped doing drugs... that's when God scared me straight, for years I had the opportunity to accept Jesus as Lord but I never did, so God had to wake me up. After all these years I'm glad God said what He said. It was like someone pushing another person out of the way of a speeding car, to the person that was pushed it might seem rude.. but after that person gets a hold of themselves and looks back, they will realize that they needed to be pushed. Jesus Christ loves you and so do I. God bless you
