Question: How did the different Germanic tribes shape the map of Europe!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

From about the 4th C BC nomadic people from the Central Eastern and Eastern Asian region (generally called "the Huns", i!.e!. a confederation of Central Asian "horse people" including e!.g!. the Mongolians) pushed native peoples in Eastern Europe westwards, in several waves!. This happened well into medieval times!. The Germanic tribes were one of the first peoples these "Huns" encountered in their push westwards, and these peoples were pushed further westwards, in several waves of migration, over many centuries: North-West of Europe and up into what is now the UK, West into what is now France, and South into what is now Spain (where they were stopped by the Moors, who moved Northwards from the African continent)!.
The map of Europe was shaped by the resistance these migrant people encountered at different times over the centuries, and it also shaped the "national languages" in Europe, e!.g!. Germanic language mostly from Eastern Europe up to the North of England (Hadrian's Wall, held up by the Vikings), up to pockets of Gaelic people in Wales in Western England and some Western isles of the UK, who were fiercely independent and still have their own language, as were the ancient Gaul areas of France who resisted the Romans (Latin languages) and probably also a number of the Germanic peoples immigration waves!.
Aside of the Latin languages (Latin / Italian / Spanish), mostly in the South of Europe, and pushed by the Roman Empire and beyond, there is a common "Indo-German" root to many European languages, e!.g!. German, Dutch/Flemish, English, etc!. but there are many language pockets which stayed separate from either the Indo-German or Latin influence, e!.g!. Gaelic and Basque (despite some influence, and perhaps more prominently recently too because of certain terminology used in international communication)!.

I hope this explains a few issues!.!.!.
