THE TOP THREE REASONS ROME FELL

BY EVAN HARR

REASON 1 - ECONOMY

  • One of the main reasons Rome fell is because they ran out of money
  • They couldnt pay for the wars and the barbarian troops
  • Without money for wars and troops Rome couldnt defend their large empire
  • Without defense the empire was under attack often by tribes.

REASON 2 - THE PLAGUE

  • The plague led to the fall of Rome because it killed many citizens
  • With the loss of thousands of people there arent enough laborers
  • The empire lost laborers in farming, trading, building and even the army
  • With these losses Rome wasnt able to maintain the wealth and the inside of the empire

REASON 3 - OVEREXPANSION

  • The main reason why Rome fell is because of overexpansion
  • Rome didnt have the resources later on to maintain the vast empire
  • They werent able to repair damages because of how big the empire was
  • People began to separate because the empire wasnt as unified anymore
  • With separation in the empire it led to many problems within the empire
