The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
In what two different groups did the Goths emerge?
- The Goths emerged as two different groups: eastern (Ostrogoths), again north of the Black Sea, and western (Visigoths), in what is today Romania.
- By the mid-330s, the Visigoths were allies of the Empire and fighting in their armies.
Which tribes were part of the Roman army?
When did the Roman army fall apart?
- The Roman army fell apart when, in the later fourth century, the Visigoths requested entry into the Empire. They were fleeing the Huns, largely Turkic-speaking pastoralists from the semi-arid, grass-covered plains of west-central Asia.
- One branch of this multi-ethnic group invaded the Black Sea region in 376 and then moved west into what is today Romania, uprooting the Gothic groups living there and driving some to treat with the Romans and enter the Empire.
What did the Visigoths do in 378? What consequences did it have?
- In 378 a group of Visigoths and other barbarians rebelled, killing Emperor Valens (r. 364-378) at the battle of Adrianople.
- The defeat meant more than the death of an emperor; it badly weakened the Roman army.
- Because the emperor needed soldiers and the Visigoths needed food and a place to settle, various arrangements were tried: treaties making the Visigoths federates; promises of pay and reward. None of it worked.
Where did the Visigoths go after sacking Rome in 410?
Which groups, besides the Visigoths, entered the Roman empire and where?
- Vandals and Sueves entered the Empire by crossing the Rhine River. They first moved into Gaul, then into Spain. Vandals crossed into North Africa; Sueves remained in Spain, though the Visigoths conquered most of their kingdom in the course of the sixth century.
- After the death of Hunnic leader Attila in 453, other groups - Ostrogoths, Rugi, Gepids - moved into the Roman Empire along the Danubian frontier.
What "deal" did the barbarian groups hope to get from Roman government?
When was the last Roman emperor deposed?
What did Odoacer do after he deposed the Augustulus?
How did Zeno react to Odoacer's attempt to unite Rome?
Which kingdoms resided in Rome around the year 500?
- Much of North Africa was under Vandal rule, the Hispanic Peninsula was dominated by the Visigoths, a large swath of Gaul was ruled by the Franks, and Italy was now the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths.
- Continental immigrants joined indigenous populations in lowland Britain; the Burgundians formed a polity centered in what is today Switzerland.
- Only the eastern half of the Empire - the long end of the scarf - remained relatively intact.
