Briefly describe the barbarian groups and the territories they occupied.

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary. Huns, Vandals, Franks, Goths, Lombards, Anglo-Saxons, Celts, and Vikings. The Visigoths controlled part of Italy and southern France. They were forced southward into Spain by the Franks who had crossed the lower Rhine and established themselves in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and parts of Germany. The Ostrogoths settled in Italy and established a kingdom only to have it fall to the Lombards, the last of the early Germanic powers to occupy land in the limits of the Roman Empire. Anglo-Saxons controlled what had been Roman Britain. The Celts settled in Ireland, and the Vikings controlled Scandinavia.
