450 CE - The Roman Empire at the time of Attila the Hun
With Attila the Hun's massive empire extending into the Russian plains, bounding on its borders the Roman Empire began to fall apart. During the first half of the fifth century the eastern empire was holding up strongly, but the western empire was breaking down.Britain had been abandoned. The Sueves settled down in the northwest of Hispania, the Franks moved across the Rhine and Britons descended across the sea in order to settle in the northwestern tip of Gaul. Vandals had settled in northern Africa.
