Cevap
The Romans left Britain in AD 410 to defend other parts of their empire, which allowed tribes from north-western Europe—the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons—to invade and settle.
The correct answer accurately identifies AD 410 as the year the Roman army left Britain to defend the rest of their empire. It also correctly names the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons as the tribes from north-western Europe that filled the resulting power vacuum.
