THE TOP THREE REASONS ROME FELL

REASON 3

• The plague was very crucial
• It reduced the amount of farmers and slave labor
• Which then led to a reduced amount of soldiers
• Which made Rome more susceptible
• I ranked this 3rd because it weakened the empire and made it less powerful

REASON 2

• Overexpansion
• Overexpansion led to the weakening of the empire
• It made the empire harder to rule effectively
• Had to spend more money to pay soldiers which led to disrepair
• I ranked this second because it made the empire weaker in many spots

REASON 1

• External Invasions(i chose this for number one because this physically brought the empire down
• Germanic tribes invaded a weakened Rome
• Persians(Sassanid) invaded the east
• Both sides invaded by the Huns
• The plague greatly weakened the economy
