The date of the invasion of Gaul might suggest that the arrival of the Huns in eastern Europe and the Hungarian Great Plain might have created a population squeeze in northern and central Europe. which led to some peoples to invade Gaul in search of new lands to settle due to. Eventually, the Vandals and Alans settled in Tunisia, the Sueves in north-western Spain, the Burgundians in eastern France. The Alemanni took over Switzerland and north-eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine). The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrating to England in waves and taking it over at a later time suggests that there probably was a population squeeze in northern Germany, too.

They involved the migration of entire peoples due to population pressure on the land. There were part of the migration period. There had been migrations from Scandinavia to Eastern Europe for about two centuries. Then there were migrations from northern Germany southwards. This created a population squeeze in central Europe just north of the frontiers of the Roman Empire. In the third century this led to many invasions into the empire from the neighbouring peoples. The Roman army managed to repel all of them, but the strain it caused resulted in this century being a century of military anarchy in the empire. The invasion of Eastern Europe by the Huns in the late fourth century created a crisis in central Europe. It created a population squeeze in this area which led to peoples from this area to migrate into the western part of the Roman Empire in search of new land. These peoples were the Vandals, Sueves, Alans and Burgundians. The size of these migrations involved some 100,000 people for each of the invaders. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrated from northern Holland and northern Germany to Britain in waves and took it over. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
