Meanwhile the German tribes between the Rhine and the Elbe had won their freedom. Also, even though Roman Legions drove through their territory on missions of reprisal a few years later, the great goal of establishing a province in the area was abandoned. This had far reaching consequences for the Germany and Europe that was to come: The constant Roman influence which took place in Gall did not take place east of the Rhine. As a result, there is in central Europe both the Romance languages, like French, as well as Germanic languages, like German and Dutch.
