History /
POLAND BEFORE 966 [27]
i just wonder if whose tribes were all slavic ore some were germanic/anglo-saxon/norman for example
Actually the first recorded groups of people to live/settle Poland were the Vandals (germanic tribe) and the Goths (originalyl Scandinavian but settled near Vistula).
The Vandals one day got a powerful King, travelled across Roman Soil into Spain, crossed the straight, took Carthage as their Capital, and made Rome shake in her skirt for 100 years. They were turned back eventually. The reason they left was due to other tribes pressing them from east.
The Goths usually fought with Rome against others, but then split - Visigoths and Ostrogoths. I forget which group did what, but one eventually joined the Huns against Rome, while the others helped Rome. The Huns were turned back and the Goths slowly took over the Italian peninsula until the Lombards (another Germanic tribe thought to come from modern day Polish lands) took it over. The slavs then took over all eastern europe and made Modern day Poland, Russia, etc.
I would continue but I am lazy. Look it up yo self :)
So in a way, we can say the "Original" Polish defeated the "mighty" Romans. This all occurred around 300s-400s AD. I don't know exact dates. :)
Hope this helped :)
By recorded I mean there are accurate accounts of them. I know nothing about the very first people to settle Poland. All I know is it happened very early in the B.C. era :)
