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.
The dates on the invasions of the Roman Empire map suggest both invasions and migrations of people. Invasions typically involve organized military campaigns with the intent to conquer territory, while migrations involve the movement of people from one region to another for various reasons such as economic opportunities or fleeing from conflicts. The dates on the map can indicate periods of both violent invasions by external forces and gradual migrations of various tribes and groups into the Roman Empire.
The invasions of the Roman Empire were carried out by Germanic peoples who lived north of the western part of the Roman Empire and were seeking new lands further south. Being further east, the eastern part of he Roman Empire was not affected by these migratory movements. However, over time after the fall of the western part , this part of the empire was suffered invasions (by the Arabs, Slavs and Turks) and eventually lost all of its lands.
The invasions of the western part of the Roman Empire by the Germanic peoples had mainly economic reasons. They were more than just military actions. 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.
The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.
From the 1st to the 4th century AD Germanic peoples attacked both the western and the eastern parts of the Roman Empire to carry out raids or for attempted invasions which were repelled. In 406 the Vandals, Sueves, Burgundians (Germanic speakers) and the Alans (Iranian speakers) from central Europe crossed the frozen river Rhine and invaded Gaul. They then established their own kingdoms in former lands of the western part of the Roman Empire. These invasions were more than just military attacks. They were migrations of whole peoples in search for new lands. The invasion of Eastern Europe by the Huns created a population squeeze in central Europe and these peoples needed new lands. The Alemanni of southern Germany took advantage of these invasions to take over Alsace (in north-eastern France) and Switzerland.
They weakened Roman law and government
Several Germanic tribes invaded the western part of the Roman Empire to migrate in search of new lands to settle. The Romans were not able to repel these invasions. This started the process of the fall of this part of the empire. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was due to invasions and internal problems equally. The mishandling of the demands of Alaric I the king of the Visigoths (who were allies of the Romans who lived in the empire) by the emperor Honorius led to Alaric's invasion Italy. To strengthen its position in Italy the Roman army redeployed troops from Gaul. This made the invasion of Gaul by the Vandals, Sueves, Alans and Burgundians easier. Under the strain of the invasions, this part of the Roman Empire lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurper emperors. Under such conditions the Romans of the western part of the Roman Empire were not able to respond to the invasions effectively.
Mecca fell to the invasions of Ottoman Sultan Selim I Yavuz in 1517, in the aftermath of a wider invasion of the Hejaz territory.
The process which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire started with the invasion of Gaul by the Vandals, Sueves and Alans in 406. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for 1,000 years.
The emperor Augustus ordered the invasion both of Raetia and Noricum. He wanted to annex the Alpine region to the empire to provide a defensive buffer to protect Italy from possible invasions.
The invasions of the Roman Empire drove the Romans away, leaving a security vacuum to be filled by local strongmen/warlords, who gradually became lords.

jacob and jack led the invasion of the inca empire
The Barbarian attacks on Rome partially stemmed from a mass migration caused by the Huns' invasion of Europe in the late fourth century. When these Eurasian warriors rampaged through northern Europe, they drove many Germanic tribes to the borders of the Roman Empire.
