Why did the goth move into the Roman Empire?

"margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">The Goths wanted to

escape from the Huns. They came under attack by the Huns who were

expanding into their homeland (Ukraine) and then also invaded

Eastern Europe. In 375 a Gothic group, the Visigoths (Goths of the

west), asked the Romans for permission to settle in Roman province

of Moesia to escape from the Huns. This was in the lower river

Danube area of the Roman Empire (in present day Bulgaria). It was

the area of this empire which was closest to them. The emperor

Valens allowed them to settle there 376. The Visigoths became

allies of the Romans, but at times they disagreed with them and

fought them.

behind, were defeated by the Huns and came under their

domination.

"margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;">A group made up of some

Goths, Alans and Huns from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian

plains east of the mid-course of the Danube invaded the Roman

province of Pannonia. This was on the other side of the banks of

his part of this river (roughly modern western Hungary). In 380 the

emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then

protected Pannonia for invasions. These Goths came to be called the

Ostrogoths (Goths of the east). After fall of the Empire of the

Huns in 451, other Ostrogoths who had remained under the domination

of the Huns joined them in this province of the Roman Empire.
