1. The Germanic migration to Rome can be traced back to the 2nd century BC, when they crossed the Alps and entered the territory of Rome, where they fought several major battles with the Romans and were finally completely defeated by Rome. However, 300 years later, the Romans had to allow some Germanic people to settle south of the Danube, hoping to use them to defend themselves against other barbarian tribes. After that, more and more Germanic people poured into the Roman Empire.

2. The contact between the Germans and the Romans enabled them to master advanced tools and technologies, which fueled their expansion ambitions. They often crossed the Danube and attacked the northern provinces of the Roman Empire, leaving Rome in a difficult position.

3. However, the large-scale migration movement of the Germanic peoples began in the second half of the 4th century, and this slow collapse was due to the influence of the westward invasion of the Huns. Under the drive of the Huns from east to west, the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals, Franks, Angles, Saxons, Burgundians, etc., in order to escape from the Huns' yard ridge troops, escaped from their homeland and invaded Rome, thus causing a wave of Germanic tribe migration.

Since the beginning of the 5th century BC, it has conquered some cities in the Latin League and the Etruscans and other close neighbors, and conquered the indigenous and Greek city-states in the southern part of the Italian peninsula, becoming a great power in the western Mediterranean. Rome waged three more Punic wars, conquering Carthage in 146 BC and making it a Roman province. 215 BC In 168 BC, he waged three Macedonian wars, conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, Macedonia and controlled all of Greece.

Through the Roman-Syrian war and diplomacy, it took control of parts of Western Asia. It expanded around the 1st century into a vast Roman Empire that spanned Europe and Africa and dominated the Mediterranean.

Justinian reached his peak during his reign, and his actual control over the countries of present-day Europe (not counting the invasions) were: all of Spain, all of France, all of Monaco, all of Liechtenstein, all of Portugal, all of San Marino, all of the Vatican, all of Malaysia, all of Italy, all of Switzerland, all of Austria, part of Germany, part of the Czech Republic, part of Ukraine, part of the United Kingdom, part of the Netherlands, all of Belgium, all of Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, The whole of Serbia, the Slovak part of the Socks, the Romanian part, the whole of Bulgaria, the Moldovan part, Algeria, Greece, the whole of Macedonia, and Turkey spanned two continents.

Byzantium, with its preserved Greco-Roman culture, stood proudly in the relatively dark Europe of that time. As the successor and preserver of Greco-Roman civilization, and in a privileged location, Byzantium maintained the stability and prosperity of the empire. At that time, Western Europeans were amazed that Byzantium had such a magnificent city, and they thought that it was paradise.

Byzantium, on the other hand, reveled in its own achievements, and in the days that followed, it ignored the new elements of civilization that had quietly emerged after the emergence of Western European cities, and even more disdained to learn and absorb the advantages and strengths of other civilizations. The Byzantines believed that their duty was to preserve the remains of their ancestors and not to innovate. After centuries of this closed and conservative mentality, the Byzantine civilization was finally eliminated by the tide of history.

Eventually, the once-prosperous Byzantine Empire was annihilated by the expansion of the Ottoman Turks.
