Greatest empire the world has ever known

>Greatest empire the world has ever known
>Gets easily defeated by Germans

Are Germans OP? Or are the Romans overrated?

>Germans
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.

krauts were behind it all

do it again Bomber Harris

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

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

>It's a Germanics = Germans episode
It was all Ikea niggers

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

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

Germanic yes. German no.

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

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.

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

hi Varg

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

Do it again Bomber Harris

>Germany was originally Celtic
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.

Where are the Goths?

>Germanics were able to overcome the greatest of all empires.
Anglos bested China so I suppose that's technically true

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

>Slavs
>Western roman empire
wew lad

Do. It. Again.

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

>Semantics
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.

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.

>EVERYONE IN EUROPE IS GERMAN
>RIGHTFUL GERMAN CLAY

and this is what led to WW1 and 2

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

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

Do it again bomber Harris.
