Why did Rome Fall?
The first reason is Christianity. The first time the Roman Empire started there was no Christianity. It took centuries before followers started to talk about Jesus. The church people started taking power away from emperor. Religious beliefs had a conflict with the Empire. The Bishop was overruling the Emperor.
The second reason is Vandals. Vandals were German that belonged to the East Germany people. They took over Roman land in Africa. Rome lost money because it lost so much territory and administrators control. Since they didn’t have any revenue they couldn’t support their army. Then their army couldn’t watch over the rest of their land. During the 3rd century there were a lot of vandals trying to overtake Rome’s land. The Samaritans, Gunderic, Gaiseric were all Vandal Kings.
The last reason was the split of the eastern and western empire government. Each part was run by a different emperor. The eastern part was the Byzantine Empire. Their capital was Constantinople. The Western part stayed centered in Italy. Their capital was Mediolanum and then Ravenna. Westerns government was Autocracy and Tetrarchy. They were considered the Roman Republic.
