= Germanic invasions =

Intense internal problems of a social economic and political nature killed the Roman World since the late Roman Republic. These problems brought about a decrease that eventualy came to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. But the invasions of the Germanic tribes, particularly those of the fifth century were equally important in precipitating the internal crises of the western empire and in helping to modify the political map of the west. The political and territorial unity found at the height of the Roman Empire came to be replaced by the fragmentation of fifth-century western Europe into several Germanic kingdoms.
