History of Germany from Roman Times 🇩🇪

The idea of Germany as an individual region in Europe can be traced back to the Era the Roman Commander, Julius Caesar. He had conquered Ghaul (France) and referred to the unconquered area which was further east of the Rhine as Germania. The Germanic tribes won the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD against the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the West Germanic Tribes were conquered by the Franks. Later when the Frankish Empire was divided among the heirs of Charlemagne in 843, the eastern part came to be known as East Francia. Otto I became the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 962.
