verdunization:Gaul and Britain - Gallia et BritanniaThey both were regarded as barbarians by Rome.Historically, Gaul had two big enemies: Germani and Rome. But apparently, Gaul thought Rome was better, that she could use him to protect her from the more barbaric Germani. So after a series of wars, Gaul was defeated and officially occupied by Rome and being romanized.During this Gallic Wars though, Rome first noticed there was an unknown island at the edge of the world, who was supporting Gaul’s hostility and resistance against him. Rome believed this island had long been in contact with Gaul. So after successfully invaded Gaul, Rome turned his eyes to this tiny island and then named it Britannia.Both Gaul and Britain were occupied by Rome around the same time. They had always been close to each other, and there was even a time when they wanted to rebel and made their own empire called “Gallic Empire”. But the rebellion didn’t last long.After Rome died and the migration period began, Gaul and Britain were so ill they didn’t have the ability to fight and live anymore. They died while Germanic tribes invaded their land (Frank in Gaul, Anglo-Saxon in Britain).Later, they were succeeded by their sons, France and England. -- source link
