Many groups attacked the western part of the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 5th century AD: the Cherusci, the Bructeri, the Chatti, the Marsi, the Chauci, the Scambri, the Marcomanni, the Quadi, the Cauchi, the Hermunduri, the Lombards, the Buri, the Naristi, the Cotini, the Garamantes, the Alemanni, the Juthungi, the Franks, Radagaisus, an (Ostrogoth king) The Huns, and the Gepids.

The invasion of the western part of the Roman Empire started in 406 when the Vandals the Sueves, and the Alans crossed the frozen river Rhine and invaded Gaul. The Alemani took advantage of this to take over Alsace (in northwestern France) and most of Switzerland. The Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes and the Frisians migrated to Britannia in waves and took it over.

The first group to invade Rome was the Etruscans. They not only invaded the city, but they set themselves up as the kings.

Parts of the Roman empire were invaded by the Goths, both the Ostrogoth and the Visigoths and the Vandals. These were the main trouble makers with the Frank and Huns coming along later.
