They were Scandis and Slavs.

The Ostrogoths were the ones that actually conquered Rome, and they were Germanic, so it is without question that Germanics were able to overcome the greatest of all empires.

Germanics aren't Germans. Goths were closer to Swedes and slavshits.

>>3392432
Goths originated in Scandinavia and spent a few centuries in Ukraine before reaching Rome

Hmmmmmmmmmm..............

>>3392406
It was a combinatiom of goths,huns,middle eastern insurgincies, and a split empire

>>3392458
Germanic yes. German no.

>>3392406
Both Romans and Goths were Germanics. Effeminate Greeks and Levantines brought down the empire with corruption, women's rights and homosexuality.

>>3392406
They weren't worth conquering. If the Romans truly wanted to, they could've, but the barbaric forests of Germania weren't worth much compared to the rich, urbanized Meditteranean. Same reason they never conquered the Picts.

>>3392458
You do realize that Germanic doesn't mean German, right? Also Germanics originated in Scandinavia, Germany was originally Celtic.

The tribes didn't defeat the Romans in pitched battles after Adrianople. The Romans destroyed themselves in brutal civil wars.

Uh not really. Oldest Celtic archaeological finds certainly paint a picture that there were Celtics in southern Germany but they did not dominate the entire area.

Anglos bested China so I suppose that's technically true

>>3392406
Because Rome already collapsed economically from within. If such invasions happened few centuries ago, Rome would win easily.

Slavs didn't exist until late 6th century.
Scandis are germans, all germans were "scandis" around 0AD.

I guess nobody was german before 1871.
All GERMANics spoke the same language around the fall of Rome, or at least able to speak with each other.

>>3392432
Goths come from Gotland, which is not in Germany.
The Germans, aka the Alemanni were always useless, and hoped to hide that uselessness by accepting the generic title of German, so as to confuse foreigners

Proto-Slavs. There, better? Balto-Slavic has been around since 3000BC or even before that.

>>3394860
>EVERYONE IN EUROPE IS GERMAN
>RIGHTFUL GERMAN CLAY

and this is what led to WW1 and 2

>>3392432
Yeah, because 80% of the roman army was occupied with fighting the Persians and defending the much more valueable eastern roman provinces against them.

>>3394860
Swedes are Germans? Because Genetically Goths were like Swedes and Slavs.
