Answer:
Spanish-American War Begins
The ensuing war was pathetically one-sided, since Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States.
In the early morning hours of May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines. He destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in two hours before pausing the Battle of Manila Bay to order his crew a second breakfast. In total, fewer than 10 American seamen were lost, while Spanish losses were estimated at over 370. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August.
The elusive Spanish Caribbean fleet under Adm. Pascual Cervera was located in Santiago harbor in Cuba by U.S. reconnaissance. An army of regular troops and volunteers under Gen. William Shafter (including then-secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and his 1st Volunteer Cavalry, the “Rough Riders”) landed on the coast east of Santiago and slowly advanced on the city in an effort to force Cervera’s fleet out of the harbor.
Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition.
Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the brief but momentous war.

Germanic tribes -- especially the Visigoths -- attacked the Roman empire and caused it to weaken.
There had been ongoing migration of Germanic tribes into Roman empire territory, that had a gradual weakening effect on the empire. The western tribes consisted of groups such as the Alamanni, Franks, Angles, and Saxons. There was also a large group of Germanic tribes known as the Goths. We speak of the Visigoths and Ostrogoths do distinguish between the western and eastern Goths. The Visigoths (western Goths) invaded the Roman Empire, and defeated Roman armies at the Battle of Adrianople in 378. Later, the Visigoths even invaded Italy and sacked the city of Rome in 410. So I suspect the answer your question is primarily looking for is the Visigoths.
