Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Visigoths were pressured to invade the western Roman Empire by Huns invading their territory. The Huns were a ruthless and powerful nomadic tribe from Asia that had been pushing other tribes out of their territories and into the Roman Empire. The Visigoths, in turn, were forced to flee and were eventually allowed by the Romans to settle within the empire's borders. However, they were poorly treated by the Roman officials, and their grievances eventually led to their revolt and sack of Rome in 410 CE.
