Vandalism.

 Vandalism (English: Vandalism, French: Vandalism) or act of damaging culture, art, and public facilities, or such a trend.

Examples include the destruction of historical sites by IS, the destruction of Baemian stone Buddha, and the expression vandalism is used to refer to scribbles of facilities or destruction of public facilities.

It is a French word derived from the fact that Vandal Ethnic, which established a kingdom in Africa during the great migration of European people in the early 5th century, was mistakenly known as a nation that repeatedly looted and destroyed from the Mediterranean coast to Rome.

The word vandalism itself implies vandalism. Because when Vandal Ethnic was moving, the leader (or major tribe) had already accepted Roman culture and recognized the excellence of Roman culture, and for that reason, very few acts of destruction were done. Rather, Roman culture and art were more destroyed by slaves, poor people, later artists, and ordinary people in Rome at the end of the Roman Empire. If you tried to imitate the ancient Greek style during the Renaissance, the easiest way was to take a pillar from an old building in Rome and touch it a little. In other words, it was the Romans themselves who destroyed the old Rome to create a "new Rome." Of course, some artists (e.g., Michelangelo) criticized such acts, but most of them were ignored.

In this way, the word containing vandalism has Gothic, which has become the etymology of Gothic art. This means "gothic" or "gothic," meaning that it is uncultivated, barbaric, and vulgar. This contains the meaning of contempt that the Gots did, but like Vandal Ethnic, the Gots recognized the excellence of Roman culture and art and sought to harmonize their culture and Roman culture.

[Vandal Ethnic]

Vandal Ethnic (-,, Vandals) was a group of Germans who invaded the Roman Empire in the 5th century and built a nation around Carthage in North Africa. Odoaker, who deposed Emperor Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, is known to be from Vandal Ethnic.

[A great shift of satisfaction]

Vandal Ethnic was mostly converted to Arian Christianity at the time. In 406, Vandal Ethnic crossed the Donau River without much difficulty and was pushed to Pannonia, and was resisted by the Franks, who had already been Romanized in northern Gallia in the Rhine River basin. 20,000 Vandal Ethnic died in battle, but when the Rhine River froze that winter, Vandal Ethnic crossed the Rhine River in large numbers, devastated Gallia southward, and was pushed to Akiten.

In 409, Vandal Ethnic continued to travel south and crossed the Pyrenees into Hispania. As he fought against the Föderati tribe of the Roman Empire, which had already settled in Hispania, Vandal Ethnic gradually expanded its scope and eventually surrendered and settled the Allans. Gajurik, the chief of Vandal Ethnic, obtained the position of king of the Allan people. Vandal Ethnic, settled in Hispania, transformed into a pirate like a Viking and advanced to North Africa.

[Vandal Kingdom in North Africa]

In 429, Gaiserik, the younger brother and successor of Gaurik, organized a fleet, led about 80,000 Vandal Ethnic and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to invade North Africa. Vandal Ethnic besieged the North African city of Hippo Regius, fought a 14-month siege, and eventually captured it. At this time, St. Augustine was also staging a sit-in in the Hippo Regius castle, and he prayed hard to save him from the Arius sects, but eventually died in the castle just before he fell. In North Africa, Vandal Ethnic signed a peace agreement with Rome in 435 to form an alliance, but Gaiserik soon broke the alliance and established Vandal Kingdom as the capital of Carthage in 439. For the next 35 years, Gaiserik's Vandal Kingdom organized a large-scale ship and invaded and occupied the territory of the Roman Empire on the Mediterranean coast one after another.

Rome had been committed to the invasion of the Huns, and when Attila died, it managed to take measures against Vandal Ethnic. Valentinian III tried to appease Vandal Ethnic with the marriage of his daughter and Gaiserik's son, but negotiations between the two sides were broken when Petronius Maximus killed Valentinian and became emperor, and in 455, Vandal Ethnic invaded Rome. At this time, Pope Leo I is said to have helped minimize Rome's looting by negotiating with Geisseric, but it is not clear. Vandal Ethnic's invasion of Rome itself was a tremendous shock to the Romans, so the term vandalism was coined, but in fact, massacres and destruction did not take place, and Vandal Ethnic systematically carried Roman wealth by ship to North Africa.

By 462, Vandal Kingdom of Africa had grown into a powerful kingdom that dominated all of North Africa and various islands in the Mediterranean Sea, including Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica. However, unlike other European Germanic kingdoms, they did not fully integrate with the governed peoples and suppressed them religious and racial, so they eventually collapsed without long duration. Vandal Ethnic, an Ariusist, suppressed Catholicism.

When Gaiserik, the leader of the great Vandal Ethnic, died in 477, his son Hunnerik succeeded to the throne, and Hunnerik severely persecuted the Catholic Church and Manichyo at the end of the reign. The half-moon kingdom gradually declined from the death of Gaiserik and lost most of Sicily to the East Goths. Hunnerik's son, Hilderik, declared religious freedom, was friendly to Catholicism, and implemented pro-Roman policies to achieve peace with the Byzantine Empire. However, in 533, when Gellimer ousted Hilderik and usurped the throne, Byzantine emperor Justinian I declared war with Vandal Kingdom and invaded North Africa under Belisarius' command. Belisarius was resisted by the Vandal army, but eventually captured Carthage and conquered even Hipporegius, the second city of Vandal Kingdom, in 534. Gelimer eventually surrendered to the Byzantine army, and the half-moon kingdom collapsed. Rome again ruled this area and revived the Catholic Church.
