Discuss the loss of Roman control of the West and the rise of Germanic kingdoms. What were some of the characteristics of the main groups mentioned in the chapter, such as the Germans and the Huns? What was unique about the Franks? How were the Romans responsible for the changes that took place?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Look for a simple account of the chaotic migrations into the empire, administrative problems, and the establishment of new kingdoms. Contrasts among them include the agriculturalism of the Germans and the nomadic character of the Huns. The Franks were the only major German group to become Catholic and thus became champions of Romanism and Catholicism against the Arian tribes.
