Summary "The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 04" by Johnson, Horne, and Rudd is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume presents a comprehensive collection of pivotal moments from world history, narrated by renowned historians and arranged chronologically. The book emphasizes significant events, including invasions, wars, and foundational developments in various civilizations, providing readers with complete narratives enriched by enlightening introductions from specialists. At the start of this volume, the editor-in-chief Charles F. Horne introduces the concept of the collective historical narratives that will follow, tracing the impact of the Teutonic tribes and their contributions to civilization after the fall of Rome. The opening portion delves into the consequences of the Roman Empire's decline, describing the invasions led by figures such as Alaric and the Goths, which ultimately led to the pillage of Rome itself. It highlights the dynamics of various tribes, the interactions between the Romans and their invaders, and the cultural shifts that ensued during a tumultuous period often referred to as the "Dark Ages."
