(See textbook pages 33-35)

The Goths weren’t the
only ones to destroy the
city of Rome.
The Vandals also plundered Rome 45 years
later in
455 A.D.
VANDALS !

The Vandals also invaded Spain and Northern Africa.
The Vandals destroyed nearly everything in their path.
Today we still call people who damage property “vandals”.

Other barbarians also invaded Roman territories.
The Angles, Saxons and
Jutes invaded Britain.
The Franks invaded
Gaul (modern France).

The barbarian attacks led to chaos inside
the Western Roman Empire.
Roman military leaders became more powerful than the emperors during the years of the barbarian attacks.
The Roman military leaders started fighting among each other. The barbarian invaders took advantage of this chaos.
Why would chaos help the barbarians?

Finally the Western Roman Empire falls!
In A.D. 476, a German barbarian general named Odoacer overthrew the last Western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, and declared himself the king of Italy.
