In 376 CE, a massive migration of Goths crossed the Danube River and entered the Roman Empire, marking a pivotal moment in the decline of the Western Roman Empire. This migration was triggered by a combination of internal conflicts among the Goths, pressure from invading Huns, and the appeal of the Roman Empire's perceived wealth and resources. The Goths' entry into the empire unleashed a chain of events that would ultimately contribute to the fall of Rome, as they clashed with Roman armies, displaced Roman citizens, and sowed instability and chaos within the empire's borders. This migration marked the beginning of a series of barbarian incursions that would eventually overwhelm the Roman Empire and lead to its downfall.
