Outside the Roman empire, Europe was populated by<br />

Germanic tribes, who were identified by the Germanic<br />

languages they used. Germanic tribes were supposed to<br />

have originated in lower Scandinavia and northern-most<br />

Germany between 1700 and 1200 BCE. From there, they<br />

spread all around Europe, from the Portugal to Russia.<br />

Germanic tribes clashed with Roman empire in 2 nd century<br />

BCE. Germanic soldiers eventually entered the the Roman<br />

army in large numbers. Germanic tribes such as Anglo-<br />

Saxons, Burgundians, Goths, Vandals, Visigoths, and<br />

Franks fought and divided Europe including what was left<br />

of the Roman empire (whose decline started in the 4 th<br />

century) among themselves. Germanic tribes were<br />

polytheistic and worshipped many pan-Germanic and local<br />

gods and goddesses. Odin, Thor, and Loki were among<br />

prominent Germanic deities. All Germanic people were<br />

eventually converted to Christianity. Christianity also<br />

ended the use of the Runic alphabet that the Germanic<br />

people used. In some places, Germanic languages gave way<br />

<strong>for</strong> Latin and Slavic dialects.<br />
