Vandal Kingdom was a Germanic state that existed in North Africa during the 5th to 6th centuries. Founded by the Vandals, it emerged after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The kingdom's capital was Carthage, a significant city that served as a major trade hub in the Mediterranean. The Vandal Kingdom is known for its naval power and raids on Roman territories. Under the rule of King Genseric, the Vandals captured Rome in 455 AD, which marked a significant moment in their history. The kingdom eventually fell to the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century, leading to its dissolution.
