Scenarios about 'germanic tribes'

The collective term for the diverse tribal groups of Indo-European origin who inhabited northern Europe from at least 500 BCE through the Migration Period. These peoples, including groups like the Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Angles, played a crucial role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire and formed the ethnic foundation for many modern European nations. In alternate history scenarios, different migration patterns or unification of Germanic tribes often create divergent paths for European development.
