A group of refugees who were sheltered by the Roman Empire later destroyed the Roman Empire

In the previous article, the country lost a third of its land because of taking in refugees! This is something Europe should learn from! Tells the story of refugees. Today, making tea also tells a story about refugees. This story sounds like a replica of the current situation in Europe. Taking history as a mirror is sometimes the greatest political wisdom. The decline of the Western Roman Empire In 286 AD, the prestigious Roman Empire was divided into two parts. Since then, Rome has been divided into two parts, with the Western Roman Empire in the west and the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire) in the east, although the Roman Empire was reunified for several years. , But soon after a certain unreliable emperor died before he divided the empire into two sons to inherit, leading to the re-split of the Roman Empire. The luck of the Eastern Roman Empire was relatively better, which lasted for thousands of years. But the Western Roman Empire was much more turbulent, and multiple barbarian invasions often caused the empire's rulers to be frustrated. Among them, the most troublesome thing for the Romans was the Visigothic kingdom of the barbarian regime established by a German barbarian named "Alaric". The Romans could not find the north, and they had to pay protection money to survive. In 409 and 410 AD, Alaric encircled and even ransacked the Roman capital twice with his troops and almost wiped out Rome. Later, Alaric died of illness on his way back to the army, and the Romans were relieved.

However, within a few years of the Romans' ease, another Hades who was more fierce than Alaric appeared, and Attila, the Hun leader, who was known as God's convenience, oh not the whip of God, appeared. The Huns are considered by many research documents to be the Huns who were driven away by the Chinese, but there is still no conclusion, and it is possible that the Huns have nothing to do with the Huns. All in all, these Huns are really fierce and evil. After they appeared in Europe, they conquered all the way. Not only did East and West Rome kneel, the other Germanic barbarians who were rampant across Europe also knelt one by one. The barbarians who threatened the Western Roman Empire were wiped out one by one. Attila was the nephew of the Huns. He lived in Western Rome as a hostage when he was a child. He knew the Roman world well. He also maintained a good relationship with the high-ranking official of Western Rome. relation. In the beginning, the Western Romans also planned to use the close relationship between Attila and Western Rome to resist the invasion of the Visigothic kingdom and other barbarians. Attila had also performed very well and helped Aetius beat the barbarians. As a result, its Attila reputation spread throughout Europe. Over the years, a large number of Germanic barbarians have been unable to resist the brutal Huns. They have requested asylum from the Western Roman Empire, and they were eventually accepted by the Western Roman Empire.

When Attila was at its peak, it had a good relationship with the Western Roman Empire. But a woman messed up everything. In order to escape the marriage, the sister of the Western Roman emperor took the initiative to propose to Attila. Attila was salivating for the wealthy of Western Rome, and immediately accepted the marriage proposal, and demanded half of the Western Roman Empire as a dowry. The Western Roman Empire naturally refused, and as a result, it was torn apart with Attila. The famous Aetius finally united with his former rival, the Visigothic kingdom, and barely repelled the attack of his friend Attila. Later, when Attila was in the bridal chamber with the robbed girl, the wind died by accident. Attila, the famous player who defeated Attila, was assassinated by the Western Roman emperor because of his outstanding achievements.

A group of refugees buried the great empire

As mentioned earlier, many Germanic barbarian tribes went to the Western Roman Empire to seek refuge from the Huns. The treatment of this group of people can be imagined. In the Western Roman Empire, they were second-class citizens. On the one hand, the Western Romans wanted to use them and squeeze them, and on the other hand, they also guarded against them. As a result, these people lived in poverty and became increasingly poor. dissatisfied. Soon, these barbarians began to attack the Western Roman Empire and caused chaos within the Western Roman Empire, and soon the country was hollowed out. At the same time, these barbarians gradually mixed into the upper ranks of Rome and began to influence the military and politics of the Western Roman Empire.

The subsequent generations of Roman emperors were threatened by barbarian soldiers. In 475 AD, the Roman general of Germanic descent, Orest, overthrew the Western Roman emperor and sent the latter into exile, and then made his 12-year-old son Romulus Augustus the new emperor of the Roman Empire. The power of the empire was held by Orest. However, in the same year, Odoase, another Roman general of Germanic descent, was embraced by the army and rose up against Orest. In the second year, Odoyasai killed Orest, deposed the little emperor, and established himself as the King of Italy. At this point, historians generally recognized that the Western Roman Empire fell. In addition, many historians believe that the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) is no longer the original Roman Empire, so Romulus Augustus was deposed and considered to be a sign of the fall of the Roman Empire. In this way, the mighty Western Roman Empire was never defeated by a powerful foreign invasion but perished in the hands of a bunch of Germanic barbarian refugees.
