Rome sacked/falls to Barbarians

AlaricsackofRome.gif410 BC


Today i am interviewing a ex Roman citizen, to comment on the fall of Rome. So Julius, what do you think caused the fall of Rome. 


The fall of Rome had many contributing factors, such as the empire was way to big to govern effectively. The Army became corrupt, Civil War broke out in Rome city states. Rome also had a series of uncapable Roman leaders. The economy spun out of control, and the rich became lazy and didn’t care what the Romans problems were and didn’t try to solve them. When Rome was split up, it left the western half open to invaders and fell to barbarians soon after the split. 


How do you think the fall of rome effected the world.


The fall of Rome effected history by with the fall of Rome the Byzantium empire had a chance to rise. Unfortunately western Europe fell completely into chaos. the was no leader and everybody was dyeing from disease and ruthless warlords went around killing men and it left Europe susceptible to muslim invaders.
