Impact of the Germanic tribes and the Romans

by Hamataka

How did the interaction between the Germanic tribes and the Romans lead to the structure of political boundaries within Europe? I assuming that it was because of the groups that created settlements within different parts of Europe, for example, the Franks settling on the land above the Iberian Peninsula, which led to the name of France. However, I wanted a professional opinion on this since I am not certain on the matter.

Are you talking modern day political boundaries? There is a long time between the fall of Rome and the map today.
