The Roman Empire was one of the greatest and longest lasting empires to date, but by A.D. 476 the empire was divided in two and its downfall was inevitable. There are many reasons for the downfall of the Western Roman Empire, some political some economical, but the four biggest factors were religion, war, size, and the decline of the Military. The problems that brought about the downfall of the Western Roman Empire were not unsolvable, but the leaders lacked the will and organization to fix them and the people lacked faith in government and stopped participating in the community.

This revoking of rights caused the population which were mostly serfs bound to the soil and small urban groups whose cities were declining to think that the old civilization was not worth saving. One economical reason for the downfall of the Western Roman empire was that the government unintentionally crushed private enterprise causing the government to take such far-reaching responsibility in affairs that the fiber of citizens weakened.
The collapse of the Roman Empire was a calamity. it led to the Dark Ages. The effect of this was the destruction of art, the collapse of great cities, the deterioration of the system of roads, the ruin of the Mediterranean trade, and the loss of European unity. It 's difficult to imagine any good came from the collapse of Rome, but some good did result. The breakup of the empire led to the abolition of slavery in Europe. Of course, this in turn led to more poverty and the increase of large estates because the poor people lost their land to the aristocrats. But the slaves were better off as peasants than as slaves.
There were many causes for the fall of the Roman Empire. Some were the rise of Christianity, the fall of the army, the large population of slaves and the size of the empire. Because of all these reasons and many more, Rome couldn’t survive which lead to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman empire survived
The Roman Empire thrived for many generations until the influence of both people of Rome and those outside Rome. Rome had been an advanced society with stable government, large cities, beautiful architecture, and advanced technology. Unfortunately it did not last forever and the fall affected Western Europe who was greatly influenced by Rome. Western Europe went from a high functioning society to a land of may manors. The causes of Rome's fall varied from invasions, overgrowth, and poor leaders.
To start off with, economic problems and corruption are one of the main reasons for Rome’s decline. For example, Document E, written by Priscus, Roman ambassador for the Huns, is a reported conversation he had with a Roman citizen who had been conquered by the Huns. It states, “[He]...considered his new life...better than his old life among the Romans…”. According to this sentence, Romans who are being conquered by the Huns are enjoying their lives more than when they were Roman citizens. Also, in the same document, it states, “...A [wealthy lawbreaker] … is not punished for his injustice, while a poor man… undergoes the legal penalty…” In other words, the poor
The Western Roman Empire fell due to many flaws. However, it fell mainly due to invasions from external enemies, economics, and a discouraged society. Therefore, the empire began to slowly decline. This expansive empire fell not due to one, but many faults made over a time period. To this day the empire is remembered as one of the most advanced of its time.
The economy of Rome was suffering. Rome had a great deal of money but they didn’t know what to use it for. Too much money was being used to provide protection and keep unity in the empire. Cities began to crumble that became poor and some cities even began to lose control. The senate became dishonest and then they started giving away their spots in office. Some people murdered or assassinated the emperors (Doc. A), and that’s when city revolts fired up and citizens of Rome started rebelling against government. The civilizations economic rottened.
The causes of the Roman Empire was because of social, economic, and military reasons. Rome fell because of social problems. In document 1 “Overwhelming majority of the population”. In document 2 “Christianity had some influence on the decline and fall of the Roman Empire”. These are social causes of the fall of
The Fall of the Western Roman Empire were caused by many different reasons. The Western Roman Empire is the Western part of the Roman Empire, being only part of what the Roman Empire was. There were many issues within the Western Roman Empire, for example, all of the Barbarian Invasions, their government issues, and the division of the empire. These all had major effects on the Empire and caused it to crumble.
One of the greatest empires began to fall to its knees after hundreds of years, but the question is, how? Rome was one of the greatest empires for a long time, but then they started to decline. The Roman Military started to become lazy, which lead to failure. Then between 220-476 CE the Roman Empire started to be sacked by foreign invaders. Although, some researchers may say that natural disasters led to the fall of Rome, nevertheless the primary reasons for the decline of Rome are foreign invasions, and military mistakes.
What caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire? The collapse of Rome was caused entirely by itself. With Rome's government inability to sustain its empire, Rome's army eroding, and terrible financial maintenance Rome led itself to complete and utter destruction. Rome’s government failure to sustain its empire led it to finally collapse. Henry Haskell an author of The New Deal in Old Rome writes “Part of the money... workmen from their occupations.”
Although many historians and professors attribute the fall of the Roman Empire to excess and corruption, the role of shifting spheres of power, trade created a situation that made the fall of such a large cumbersome empire inevitable, the military played a role for not obeying protocol as well and an excess of things were happening in the government that also led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Each mistake made by the Romans contributed to their fall of their empire since after time of accumulation of their mistakes, it becomes a tremendous problem. Though the Roman Empire still did have their climax in history before everything came crashing down.
Did you know that the Roman empire was one of the strongest and one of the most powerful empire? Well as we all know the Roman empire fell for these reasons.

The final reason is because the Roman empire had tons of invaders invading Rome at the same time so Rome couldn’t fight all those empires!.
For a long period of time, Rome seemed like an unstoppable empire. It conquered the majority of the land surrounding it, including Greece, Turkey, Iraq, and many of its other neighboring countries. It seemed as though Rome would conquer the entire world, as it was the center of it, until it began to decline in 476 C.E. The very aspects that made it so successful were the ones that caused its collapse. Various political, religious, and economic reasons caused its downfall. The fact that the entire economy of Rome collapsed and money became worthless was a major reason for the empire’s collapse. In addition, the loss of a common religion and lack of efficient ruling in relation to its vast territory affected the empire. The Roman
Muzio Clementi known as “the father of the piano” was born in Rome, Italy in 1752. When he was very young his father became aware of his musical talent. He studied the fundamentals of music from his local church’s choirmaster. At the age of seven, he started taking organ lessons with Cordicelli. Clementi was so good that at the age of 14 he was appointed to the position of church organist. His exceptionally amazing talent was becoming known to more and more people. A wealthy Englishman by the name of Peter Beckford who is the cousin of the novelist William Thomas Beckford, visited Rome in 1766. He was so impressed with the young prodigy’s music talent that he made a deal with his father to take Clementi with him to Dorset, England. He agreed
Women’s health, specifically abortion, is a pressing health care issue in the nation, as well as globally. I envision my future career as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist (OB/GYN) to be influential in the process of choosing whether or not to have an abortion. Many females making this difficult decision are uninformed and afraid. My part in this process would be to inform the mother-to-be of all her options, encourage, and support her as she makes her decision. As an OB/GYN, I will use my empathy and professionalism to answer difficult questions and put my personal beliefs aside to ensure the welfare of the mother and the child. I want to be able to provide a confidential and comfortable environment for my patient to discuss private and sensitive
