The Most INSANE Conquests In History
When you think of the Germanic peoples, you might picture the fjords of Norway or the rolling plains of Germany.
But did you know a Germanic kingdom once thrived in the arid lands of Tunisia?
Meet the Vandals, first mentioned by Pliny the Elder in 77 CE, originally from Poland. After fleeing the Goths and the Huns, they sought refuge in the Roman Empire, only to be forced into a perilous journey across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Against all odds, they crossed using makeshift vessels and settled in North Africa, eventually conquering Carthage and establishing a powerful kingdom.
