I had this talk with a friend of mine last weekend about alternative history.
What if when the Germanic tribes invading the Roman empire were actually defeaded by the Roman legions, and Rome re-established order and discipline in the empire. How would history have look like?
Romans preventing Anglo-Saxons invading the British Isles, the Frankish tribes were drived back across the Rhine River.
England would not have become a Germanic country, and English language, British Empire, etc never existed. France who inherited its name from the Franks would probably still be called Gaul.
Anyone opinions on this alternative history?
