By the mid-400s, Rome had been sacked, a Visigothic kingdom occupied modern Spain, the Vandals
controlled North Africa, and the Franks and the Burgundians lived in modern France. Put the events that
led to this situation into chronological order. - CORRECT ANSWER Central Asian Huns migrated into the
Black Sea region, forcing the Goths to enter the Roman Empire as refugees. The Roman army was
defeated by the Goths at Adrianople when they tried to quell a Gothic rebellion. In order to get Alaric -
now a Roman military commander - to stop looting Greece, the Eastern Roman Emperor encouraged
him to move his people to Italy. A Western military leader, Stilicho, allied himself with the Goths to
defend against the invasion of Gaul by a different group: the Vandals. Alaric and the Goths invaded and
sacked Rome, but Alaric did not shift from conqueror of Rome to Ruler of Rome. Instead, he and his
people went to Spain.



Place these events in the establishment of Christianity in chronological order. - CORRECT ANSWER Paul
of Tarsus spread Christianity throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Decius and Diocletian targeted
Christians for persecution. Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, protecting Roman citizens' religious
