What was the outcome of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest?
Apologies for the confusion earlier! The Battle of Teutoburg Forest, fought in 9 CE, was a devastating defeat for the Romans. The Germanic tribes, led by Arminius, ambushed and annihilated three Roman legions led by General Varus. It was a catastrophic blow to Roman ambitions in Germania, and the loss of around 20,000 Roman soldiers was a tremendous setback. The defeat at Teutoburg Forest halted Rome's expansion across the Rhine River, and the Romans never again attempted to conquer Germania east of the river. So, it's safe to say that the outcome of the battle was a resounding victory for the Germanic tribes.
