In A.D. 476, the Western Roman Empire fell. By fell, I mean it was sacked, and completely destroyed by the Germanics, also known as the barbarians, who after taking over, divided the territory into Germanic kingdoms. Other than that, there are many reasons that caused the empire to fall to the barbarians.
The barbarians decided to start invading the Roman Empire, because they knew that they were becoming weaker, as they were becoming bigger. Barbarian tribes like the Franks, the Vandals, and the Goths, all came to invade Rome, causing Rome to come to the end.
Workforce -----> There were fewer workers, and less slaves.
Social -----> Famine, plague, and civil unrest (riots and uprisings).
Geography ----> Donut-shaped around the Mediterranean sea, which made it more of a Roman Lake, and week borders.
Economy -----> Depression (decline, income/wages fall, value of money decreases, cost of goods and services increases), wealthy not paying taxes, growth of army and the government, dependency on luxury items.
Government ----> Dishonest and corrupt, too big, civil wars wasting money, resources and lives.
Military -----> Not strong enough, spread out too thin around the borders, too many borders, and internal conflicts.
