Overview:
Stone Age farmers brought wheat, cows, and pigs to Western Europe from the Middle East between 8,000 and 6,000 years ago. Migrations and conquering armies followed, including Romans, Franks, Gauls, and Germanic tribes. Each helped make this region as culturally, linguistically, and ethnically diverse as its landscape, which stretches from Amsterdam's sea-level metropolis to the majestic peaks of the Alps and from the boisterous beer gardens of Munich to the sun-soaked vineyards of Bordeaux.
