The reason the Roman Empire fell is becuase of the Emperor. The Roman Emperor had the legal power to rule Rome’s religious, civil and military affairs with the Senate acting as an advisory body. Religion was splitting and causing diversion with in Rome. Disputes between people and their beliefs were happening.
Another reason the empire fell was because of the government, they couldnt handle the rapid growth of the Empire that led to the need to defend the borders and territories of Rome. The Roman empire was modified by people, and expanded greatly.The people of the conquered lands, most of who were referred to as Barbarians, hated the Romans.
Another reason the Empire fell was becuase it split in two. Rome was split into Eastern and Western empires. These separate empires were governed by different emperors, having an effect on the fall of Rome. The Eastern half became the Byzantine Empire, with its capitol at Constantinople. The Western half remained centered in Italy.
