How did the Germans keep out the Romans?
By killing them.
Unironically same way that the Soviets later beat the Germans. There was no way the Roman army could fight through the terrain, even if not mountainous, it was bad for matching (it was so many forests), where Germanic ambushes could happen at any time. There was no good roads, no way to transport stuff over long distances effectivly, logistics get fucked, they would sometimes reach deep only to be fought back .
The best part is that he studied in Rome
Not really the best
the romans took him from his father.

It has to do with Roman politics somewhat. If there were more compitent governours at the borders then maybe the people would've seen the glory of Rome. Bad taxes gets mad people. Enslave those people and they start to fight. A lot of dead romans later and the Frisii get a rep boost from the neighbours and the Romans went for more important things later.
Ancient Germany was a huge backwaters shithole, to the point that no emperor wanted to conquer the place even for the sake of prestige like Britain. Scotland and Ireland were similar to Germany in this way.
Britannia was best province simian
Simply Rome tried to conquer Germany, they saw that the people here were too much warlike to be civilized, so, as Germany was basically a wasteland with no resources, they gave up because there was no point in wasting men and money in that land
They didn't. Half of Germany was Roman, and that the battle of Teutoburg ended Roman expansion into Germany was debunked years ago after they found archeological Roman remains from centuries later.
The Romans raided Germany for slaves pretty often, but it was not worth it to try to establish permanent control over an inhospitable land filled with angry barbarians
Is that why Southern Germany is Catholic?
>Southern Germany is Catholic because it was Roman 1300 years before Luther
British education
Romans couldn't afford the men and logistical power to pacify the region, there was no central power to crush like they did in africa or gaul and they needed the troops in other provinces. Sadly tho, rome was the peak of civilisation at its time
You tell me why it lines up then
Not all Southern Germans are Catholic. Even Austria was predominantly protestant for a time.
>Best
yeah right that why they abbandon it the first
why don't you just come to term with the fact that romans couldn't top germanic warriors?
Because it was the only overseas Roman colony so not directly connected to Rome by land
R*mans did not treat "barbarians" that adopted their ways as equals, they we elitist pricks and deserved what they got.
>Africa and Asia are directly connected to Rome by land
No, southern germany was closer to the catholic powerhouses that controlled the region ~1600, Austria and France While the north seek every possibility to get more independent from the emperor, espessially Karl V (Carlos I) von Habsburg, King of Spain, Archduke of Austria and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, a man who didn't even spoke german
Because it's easier to be historically accurate than lying for the sake of today's germans egos.
Yes? Are you retarded?
Face it, they didn't care much about Britannia. Rome only serves Rome and to protect the Homeland was more important to them then anything else
>invade the land of germanic tribes
>get absolutely fucking curb stomped
>"actually we didn't want your land anyways"
lmao
>Romans crossed Ukraine and the Caucasus to get to Anatolia
>Romans crossed all of Syria and Palestine to go to Egypt and Cyrenaica
If that was the goal, then they failed horribly
They didn't, but I'm saying that Britannia could only be controlled via a navy, which made it far more burdensome than Anatolia and Egypt which they could send troops to via land at the height of the empire.
Compared to every other city during that time thats more then impressive tbqh.
Only constantinopel managed to stand longer untouched
Only the retard Dane that shows up in varg threads couldn't get a simple "costs/benefits" evaluation. If you think Rome couldn't pull any amount of required resources out of its ass and conquer the region if it was worth it in the big picture you're simply a fanboying simpleton.
They could not send troops via land to those places not even at the height of the Empire, and in fact never did

>claims rome could just shackle off the loss of three of its entire legions while guarding a fucking long border with only 300.000 men
The dane is right you know. After that rome never made any other plans to permanent settle in the area
mostly just involuntary scorched earth policy
also the Empire was already way overexpanded, they already barely managed to contain and Romanize rowdy Gauls who were somewhat semi-civilized, with Germanics though it would've been even harder, and past the Rhine I don't think there are big natural barriers for a possibly better limen
yeah loosing three legions isn't shit man
>italian military strategy

>The dane is right you know. After that rome never made any other plans to permanent settle in the area
You're wrong. Teutoburg forest ending Roman expansion into Northern Germany was a myth debunked years ago. And even before that the punitive expeditions by Germanicus were known.
I never said 'Romans never crossed the rhine again' mr roman cuck sucking helvetia.
But if you're so sure that I am wrong you surely have any proof of roman settlement after the varus battle?
Magna germania was dense in two things: trees and germans
even romans with all their war machines couldnt knock down million trees while millions of germs keep gorilla warfaring them
It's just another case of superior germanics beating the shit out of some southron manlets
Bah, Germans were just as cuck, they were Roman auxiliaries for centuries, before and after Varus
Also spiegel.de
>gorilla warfaring
>Hm we found a roman campsite from one of the many expiditions the romans did but it is unclear what it might been
>the articel reads ITS UNCLEAR
>Some swiss try to claim its a permanent roman settlement from the great finnish-korean-hyperwar
We where only auxiliaries to use romes supperior weapons against themself
