What caused the decline of the Celts?

Roman and Germanic invasions

r*ma(n)s

It blows my mind that the Celts had only been in Belgica for a couple of centuries before Caesar genocided them.
Who the hell lived there before the Celts?

>genocided
Wrong

too much infighting and this

>~95% of historical settlement area conquered by romans

>Britannia Inferior (Latin for "Lower Britain") was a new province carved out of Roman Britain around ad 197 during the reforms of Septimius Severus.
Err?

They didnt "decline", they just evolved in something else, like the vikings.

Mostly adopted the culture and language of the people who conquered them

>exceptions
>Armoricans
Fought against the Huns and Goths in the 5th century, had their numbers bolstered by Roman bacaudae and immigrants from Britain
>Romano-Britons
Pushed to the extremities of Britain and formed their own polities, ones in southern Scotland absorbed into Gaelic and Saxon polities
>Picts
Mostly doing their own thing until they got Gael'd
>Gaels
Mostly doing their own thing until they got Anglo'd

...

Well firstly the celts weren't an ethnic group.
Celticism was primarily defined by culture. This culture was replaced by another culture, the roman one.

>by Roman bacaudae
That's a nice Oxymoron
Bagaudae were literally Gallic freedom fighters
>Armoricans
They are the Bagaudae

I'm probably what you would call a Germanic-Celt. Pretty much everyone who speaks English apart from pure Anglo-Saxons.
