The Roman Empire may have fallen apart because some people say it was that Rome split up into two empires. The Eastern and Western empires governed by separate emperors. The eastern half became the Byzantine Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, which is modern Istanbul. The western half remained centered in Italy. Many say the Fall of Rome was an ongoing process, lasting more than a century. I this case some people say that Rome Adapted more instead of fallen.
Another thing people think that Rome had fallen was a combination of things like christianity, decadence, lead, monetary trouble, and military problems. Also the rise of Islam is thought to be the cause of Romes Fall. The empire of the Romans not only increased, but was made and set up by the conquered people. Rome started out as a small settlement, with a lot of hills by the Tiber River and It was surrounded by more powerful neighbors. Slaves also put Romans out of work because there was too many of them.
The main reason i believe Rome fell was their stupidity. For example they built a moat on both sides of the wall and it cost millions day of labor. It also costed them and led to the sacking of Rome, The arts that were destroyed, the withering of great cities, the deterioration of the system of roads, the ruin of the Mediterranean trade, and the loss of European unity. Honestly no good came of it except for the abolition of slavery in Europe. Then slaves became serfs after the birth of serfdom, a member of the lowest feudal class, attached to the land owned by a lord and required to perform labor in return for certain legal or customary rights.
