In 460, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires worked together in an attempt to destroy the Vandals. They nearly succeeded, but the Vandals used fire ships to destroy the Roman fleet just as the Romans were sure that the Vandals would surrender.

So what would happen if the Romans succeeded in defeating the Vandals?

Would the Romans have been able to take back all of North Africa?

Would the Western Roman Empire have continued to scrape out a living with its bread-basket back under control?

If Italy fell, could a Roman successor state continue in North Africa?

What do y'all think would happen?
