Question

In the late 4th and early 5th Centuries, a major migration of Germanic tribes occurred, originating from Central Europe, that would ultimately cause the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and set the groundwork for Western Europe. Which eastern steppe tribe facilitated this migration?

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The westward expansion of the Huns displaced more than a dozen Germanic tribes from Central Europe. This displacement forced them to seek refuge in the already collapsing Western Roman Empire, forever changing its demography and creating tensions that would lead to its total collapse.
