Why did Rome fall?

By 200 BC, Rome was quickly becoming one of the world’s greatest empires with their excellent military conquering territory from modern day Scotland to Spain. After the Punic Wars and the defeat of Carthage, Rome had full control of the Mediterranean region, establishing colonies in North Africa, Egypt, the Middle East, and Asia Minor. Julius Caesar became Rome’s first emperor using his military influence. Under his reign, Rome shifted from a republic to an empire under the rule of an emperor and the military. Rome steadily increased in stability, power, and wealth, reaching Pax Romana (the time of Roman peace) under Emperor Augustus Caesar. Rome was forced to discover, as many other

Rome, one of the most powerful empire ever in the history, it is the center of the world, but that was before bad things start happening. Rome is extremely powerful and wealthy, the Romans conquered territory from current day Scotland to Spain, and have control the whole Mediterranean . So what were the Primary reasons for the fall of Rome? There was lot of reasons that led to the decline of Rome, but I picked the three most important ones for me, which is a unstable government, foreign invasions and diseases.

    Though Rome was a great empire that conquered countless territories, it was not immune to the numerous attacks from barbarians such as the Huns, the Visigoths, the Vandals, and others. The barbarians would raid and sack the capital and other cities in ancient Rome, leaving them without money or tradable items. The Vandals did so much damage to the cities that their name is associated with the crime of extensive damage to property. The Huns were another destructive group of barbarians that were led by Attila. They raided Rome in 451 AD, leaving an immense trail of destruction. Other barbarians attacked Rome at different times, each leaving Rome weaker and helpless. Each attack destroyed their economy and left them desperate for a solution. The Ostrogoths finally caused the Western Empire to fall when Odoacer chased Romulus Augustus, the last of the Roman emperors, off the

Rome was the world’s greatest place for about 500 years. The fall of the Roman Empire led Rome to split into two parts. The eastern part of Rome thrived much longer than the western half. Historians believe that Rome had not fallen until about 476 A.D. because of how long Eastern Rome survived as a Byzantine Empire. Western Rome had fallen after the split and when it did, a number of reasons are in the hundreds. They had decided to split their government due to the fact that they had so much land to cover that they thought it was easier to split the empire in half. There were three main reasons as to why Rome had fallen. The division of the Roman Empire lead to a weak economy, military as well as political and social problems.

Rome began to fall in 64 AD. The fall of the roman empire was the fault of the immense size, new religious views, and the decline in economy. Rome was prospering before these matters took a toll on many aspects of Rome.

Most historians believe that the downfall of Rome was not caused by one dominant factor, but more several issues that were too pressing to be solved. After looking at documents one through six, however, I feel like the issues are centered around the problems associated with conquering new lands and the expansion of the empire.

During the period of Rome’s decline several different outside forces attacked Rome. They were the Vandals, Visigoths, and Huns. The Vandals took the region of Gaul, and the Roman army was too disorganized to stop them. The Visigoths plundered and took control of Rome, attacking them through the Alps. The Huns, while paid off by Pope Leo I to have them spare Rome, attacked both parts of the empire. The invasion of the Huns also led to more people seeking refuge and protection in the Roman Empire. The invasion of outside

Another thing is how many countries were attacking Rome all at the same time. I think that was Rome’s biggest struggle in this time. Everyone was at different points attacking from the ocean and by land. This made it hard for Rome’s army to fight
