Question

Why did the Germanic people invade Rome?

Answer 1

Two primary reasons:
1. They were being pressed upon in the East by invading Asian nomads, the Huns being the most famous group. So they move to
get away.
2. Rome was a very appealing place to live. The standard of living was
much higher than the Germanic tribes had. A way of thinking about
this is how the United States is attractive to immigrants from other
countries today, principally the nations to our south.
