Germanic Wars

The Germanic Wars is a name given to a series of Wars between the Romans and various Germanic tribes between 113 BC and 439 A.D. The nature of these wars varied through time between Roman conquest, Germanic uprisings and later Germanic invasions in Roman Empire that started in the late 2nd century. The series of conflicts which began in the 5th century, under the Western Roman Emperor Honorius led (along with internal strife) to the ultimate downfall of the Western Roman Empire, though both combatants eventually joined forces to fight a coalition of other Germanic tribes and Huns under Attila.
