military- The Roman army was comprised of barbarian trained soldiers, and they weren't as effective as previous Roman armies. Also, many of the Roman citizens enlisted their slaves into the army in their position. The slaves were bad and had low morale.
Political- The senate became very corrupt. Government officials accepted bribes in exchange for favors. Civil revolts occured, lead by rebellious citizens. The emporer divided the empire into two halves, and the western half last its power
Economic- Rome had no money to rebuild itself during the war and and had nothing to trade. They had little money for weapons and armor, so they had no chance in the war. The was a lot of inflation and the coin had very little value. High taxes made citizens unhappy.
