Facts About Germany
▪ Since the classical antiquity both northern Germany and southern Scandinavia has been occupied by a vast number of Germanic tribes. Before AD 100 the region Germania was documented by the Romans. Sometime during the Migration Period also known as the barbarian invasions which occurred from about 376 to 800 AD corresponding with the decline of the Roman Empire, Germanic tribes migrated southwards establishing kingdoms throughout the most of Europe. These German territories at the beginning of the 10th century established a central component of what was later to become the Holy Roman Empire.
