Although the Vandals felt that they could sit back and relax because this place was very rich in resources and products. However, this place was North Africa, which was also the main supplier of food to the Roman Empire. After it was captured by the Vandals, a very serious situation emerged within the Roman Empire.

Serious famine! The emperor, nobles and even the rich had almost no food to eat. What about the Roman civilians? The Roman civilians were just talking tools in the eyes of the high-level officials, so a large number of Roman civilians were hungry.

To die on the street is simply miserable.

Although the Roman Empire was miserable due to lack of food at this time, the Vandals were living very well, which led to a surge in population and even growing power. Therefore, the Romans were forced to sign a treaty with the Vandals and had to

He recognized the Vandals' occupation of North Africa and married a Roman princess to a Vandal prince.

But the Vandal King Geiserik was not satisfied with the current status quo, so he used very bloody methods to first occupy all the territories of the Roman Empire in North Africa, and then set his sights on the currently weak Roman city.

. Because Geiseric knew that the current city of Rome was simply hell. The emperors, nobles and even the rich were all frantically squeezing the common people to maintain their extravagant and extravagant lives, so it seemed like

It looks easy to fight. Moreover, the wealth of the top leaders of the Roman Empire seems to be quite large.

For this ambition, King Geiserik of the Vandals built a very powerful fleet, and with abundant resources and food, he conducted very strict day and night training on these soldiers. And the training results

It’s very good. Why do we say this? Let’s take a look:

The Vandal fleet first killed a large number of people with very bloody methods, then occupied Sardinia, from which resources and slaves could be obtained, and then occupied Sicily, so that the resources would be even more abundant.

If there were more, there would be more slaves, which led to the Vandals developing faster, and later they occupied other important islands and ports in the Roman Empire. In the end, this became the successor to Carthage and the Roman Empire in disguise.

The hegemon of the Mediterranean after the Roman Empire! Just imagine how decadent the Roman Empire’s fighting power is now! It’s simply unbelievable!

In 455 AD, the Vandals, who had developed for a long time, their king Geiserik led an extremely large Vandal fleet to begin crossing the river and marching north to attack the city of Rome. When the Vandals

When the huge fleet arrived at the mouth of the Tiber River, the entire city of Western Rome fell into panic.

This kind of fear not only caused despair and fear among the Roman civilians who were currently starving and naked, but also the very wealthy Roman emperor stopped playing with the women around him at this time because he was too scared.

The Vandals came and killed him? Then the nobles of the Roman Empire panicked. They no longer watched the show or thought about how to exploit the civilians, but were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

Then some of the rich people in Rome began to flee with their property.

Then the Roman emperor took a very luxurious carriage, and then these very luxurious carriages sped out of the palace and rushed towards the city gate.

Open the door! Open the door! Open the door quickly! This is the emperor of Western Rome sticking his head out of the carriage and shouting loudly to the guards guarding the door.

At this time, the Romans standing nearby recognized the emperor, so they shouted: No! No! Our emperor is running away! Suddenly many Romans heard this shout and hurried away

Come over and surround the Roman Emperor's motorcade.

When the Western Roman emperor saw this situation, he immediately shouted angrily: Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of my way!

You can't leave! You absolutely can't leave! You are the emperor of our Rome! You must lead us to resist the Vandals! We will live and die with Rome! A Roman shouted indignantly at this time.

Rome can't hold it anymore! You guys run away! Open the door! Open the door quickly! The Western Roman Emperor said impatiently. But at this time, the extremely angry Romans swarmed up and beat the Western Roman Emperor to death.

!!!!

Soon after this, the Vandal fleet arrived at the gates of the Roman city. At this time, the Romans had long been starved of food and clothing, and this was what the nobles and rich had been trying to do for countless generations.

How to squeeze the wealth of the common people and how to enjoy extravagant debauchery, so the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and they have long lost the bravery of their Roman ancestors, so Vandal just effortlessly slaughtered the entire city of Rome in no time

Looking up to the sky. The ground is full of corpses of Romans, whether they are civilians or nobles and rich people. In the past few hundred years in the city of Rome, the rich and nobles were superiors and extremely noble beings. And now their

The appearance of death was even worse than that of some civilians. The entire city of Rome was dyed red with blood. So far, all Romans were once again equal in the face of death!

Then the Vandals carried out outrageous looting of the Roman Empire. The royal palaces, treasury, churches, nobles' mansions, rich people's mansions, and even ordinary people's shabby houses were all looted by the Vandals.

The Vandals filled their ships with plundered treasures, silks, porcelain, gorgeous decorations, etc., and took away the remaining more than 30,000 Romans who had not been killed as slaves.

.Even the king of the Vandals, Geiseric, snatched away the Roman princess.

In the end, the Vandals set fire everywhere in the Western Roman city. Suddenly, the city of Rome was in flames. All the glory came to an end, and everything was burned. Over the hundreds of years, the Romans left countless architectural treasures and

The achievements of civilization were swallowed up by the raging fire.

Rome, this once prosperous and magnificent city, is now devastated and desolate!

At this time, the Western Roman Empire began to fall apart, because the emperor died and the capital was gone. The Burgundians occupied Gaul, the Visigoths occupied Spain, the Vandals continued to rule North Africa, and the Italian Peninsula was

The Ostrogoths control it, and even the newly appointed Western Roman emperor is just a puppet of the Ostrogoths.

Although these processes of division and control also resulted in the death of a large number of people, in AD 476, the leader of the German mercenaries, Odoriko, deposed the last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustus.

The Roman Empire was destroyed. Because the young Roman Emperor Romulus Augustus had no soldiers at all, he was unable to resist, so he had to order his entourage to load things into the car and silently left the palace.

.

…

After the complete demise of the Western Roman Empire, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire regarded himself as the successor of the Roman Empire and took it as his own responsibility to restore the territory of the ancient Roman Empire. At this time, the Germans, who were regarded as barbarians, were in the original Western Roman Empire.

Many small countries were established on the territory. They were the Arian sect that believed in Christianity. This was something that the Eastern Roman emperor, who believed that he believed in Christian orthodoxy and was the protector of Christian orthodoxy, could not tolerate. At this time,

After Justinian came to the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire, he determined to eliminate the barbarian countries with heretical beliefs and vowed to realize the political and religious unification of the Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire was actually the most commercially prosperous region in the Roman Empire in the past. The capital, Constantinople, was located at the junction of the Eurasian continent and could collect very high tolls. The silk industry enabled the top brass of the Eastern Roman Empire to gain

Huge profits. Another one was Justinian, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire at this time. He levied land tax on farmers across the country and could get more than 3,000 pounds of gold every year. This made the economic strength of the Eastern Roman Empire very strong.

Then after many years of preparation, Justinian began his own ambitious plan to regain the Roman Empire and began to launch a very large-scale war.

In order to relieve his worries, Justinian did not hesitate to pay 11,000 pounds of gold and signed a permanent peace treaty with Persia. This peace treaty was a permanent armistice with Persia! In fact, Persia has been attacking other places now, which is quite powerful, but now Justinian

Anyway, Dinny has an armistice with Persia forever, so there is nothing to fear, which is equivalent to stabilizing the East.

Then Justinian really started to launch a large-scale war against the West. At this time, the foreign countries in the west, such as the Vandal Kingdom, the Ostrogothic Kingdom, the Frankish Kingdom, etc., were actually internally driven by the greed of the nobles.

The rich are even more greedy. Coupled with various factors such as the struggle for the throne, this has led to political instability and domestic conflicts. Moreover, the culture in these foreign countries is also very backward, and there is basically nothing

cultural foundation, so they also worked very hard to learn the advanced culture of Rome and were deeply influenced by Roman culture. This led to the common people, even nobles and even rich people in these countries to think that the emperor of Rome was actually God!

Of course this is due to the Christian factor!

If we look at it from this point of view, when the Roman Emperor Constantine established Christianity as the state religion and then used Christianity to control the entire empire, the impact was still so great and so outrageous! In a word: It is estimated that the Roman Emperor at that time

Constantine, he didn't expect Christianity to be so powerful, right?

So this led to the fact that when the army of the Eastern Roman Empire came to the city, these small countries did not unite to fight against the enemy, because the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire was actually God in their hearts! How could they attack God's army? Isn't this a joke?
