Why did Roman Empire Fall?

One of the reasons why the Roman Empire fell was the decline of the morals. There was a huge decline of the upper class, lower class, and even the slaves. There was a huge demand for alcohol in Rome. The Romans spent their money on useless alcohol. There was a lot of more violence that came with the alcohol. With all of the decline in their morals, people in Rome started betraying against Rome.The Romans values and morals declined in Rome.

Another reason why the Roman Empire fall was because of political problems they had in their government. Emperor Constantine divided the empire into two halves. He claimed rule over the eastern half of Rome. The Western Roman Empire lost its power over towns in the East, causing a great reduction in profits from the treasury and weakening them dramatically in warfare. Now their strength had been dwindled.

The 3rd reason was religion of Rome. Rome stated that the state religion of Rome was Christianity. Pagans at the time because the old gods were no longer worshiped they abandoned the empire to the barbarians. They thought people weren't worshiping the gods. People in Rome didn't like that they changed the religion to Christianity.
