Rise of the Vandals: How the Vandals Took Over Roman Africa

Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome and Germanic tribes continue with a video on the rise of the Vandals and how an initially minor Germanic tribe managed to take over the Roman province of Africa after travelling from the Danube to Hispania and then across Gibraltar

The video was made by Lito Areta, while the script was researched and written by Matt Hollis

I still can't believe that DC named one of its villains "Vandal Savage". Comics are weird.

When. even after milenia, your people's name translates into "destruction"...

The Vandals were the ultimate adventurer party. They gave no crap where they went and who payed them to go there, as long as there was fun and loot to be had.

The descendants of Vandals can still be found today at Football Stadium all over Europe

I'm liking this anthology series of different peoples, their stories and origins

Actually in Tunisia we have an area near the capital named "Ariana" (practically a suburb today). It is believed the name originated from "Arians" as that's where the Vandal population resided (who were Arian Christians).

Also the region of Andalusia in Spain probably derives its name from the Vandals too.

Thank you for bringing light on a very underrated, forgotten piece of North African history, Greetings from Tunisia!

9:30 Stilicho was more Roman than the "Emperor" he served.

I don't know what I find more fascinating. That there was a Germanic kingdom in Africa or that there was a Greek kingdom in India.

As someone who has major roots in Britain, I sometimes wonder where exactly my ancestors played a role in history during times like these. Did they interact with any famous people? Did they partake in any wars? Did they join or oppose the Empire of Rome? So many questions and Kings and Generals helps me only imagine what they might've done. Great video!

[Christian-mtjx]

It is actually such a miracle the Roman Empire lasted for so long.

[Frenchylikeshikes]

Yet another overlooked people/ civilisation, that actually had massive influence over so many modern countries. Love that channel.

This is a: “How to Vandal“ for “Total War: Atilla“ players.

[imtiazhossain]

This is really incredible, the history of the vandals are really fascinating.

[nikostombris]

I believe that a remake of the Justinian wars is something needed . Also a video on Nicephorus Phocas and the Komnenian restorations will be also interesting.

[Pepperpotk]

I get so excited every time Aetius Flavius is mentioned, Please cover that man's history

[EduNauta]

In Spain we still say someone is a vandal when he is a brute, a teen thug, etc

[AlterSchwede]

Geiserich is one of the most brilliant military leaders and politicians ever. He managed to bring his people from a troubled situation in spain in a land like paradise. He managed to fight off several roman invasions he anticipated.

It would be nice one video about every tribe, visigoths, ostrogoths, suebis, franks
