Battle of the Tetuoburg Forest

Arminus, a Germanic auxiliary commander in the Roman army, formed an alliance with the local Germanic tribes in order to destroy the Roman army. He manipulated the Roman general Publicus Varus into the Tetuoburg Forest. The Tetuoburg Forest was a dark, huge, and difficult to navigate in...the perfect place for ambushes. The forest could have been something out of a horror movie. Once the Germanic tribes ambushed the Roman army, Arminus and his auxiliaries turned on the Romans and the Roman army was virtually destroyed. The annihilation of the Roman armies defeated all Romanic dreams of controlling the region now known as "Germany". However, Arminus was later killed in an inter-tribal war.
