Along with the hunger for power, greed was also fostered as the empire grew in size and this was one of the truly negative effects.

This loss of population made it hard to find laborers and soldiers for war. This caused the empire to pay Germanic soldiers to fight for them. The need to pay for troops created a large debt for the Romans. Another reason that led to the decline of the Roman Empire was their water source coming in through lead pipes. Many people believed this poisoned the Romans which also led to low population.

So Rome paid thousands of German soldiers to fight for them. Obviously this made Rome 's military weak because they would easily run from battle or betray Rome because they had nothing to protect in Rome. Another reason the Roman empire fell to shambles was because the Roman military stopped going on military conquests. When they did this the Roman economy collapsed because the economy relied on the constant income of plundered trophies from captured civilizations.

Fall of Rome DBQ Including most of the Mediterranean world, Rome, a city that was growing big enough to become one of the world’s largest empire’s would soon slowly fall apart because of their problems. In 27 BC, Rome’s first emperor, Augustus Caesar, took complete power. During his time, he ruled with Pax Romana, a time of Roman peace which lasted for almost 200 years. After his death, the Roman Empire begun to break apart. The primary reasons for the fall of Rome was it being geographically too big; the population was decreasing due to plagues which led to the Roman army becoming weak, social and military issues and laziness of the military would guide the army down which led to cities being lost, and their government and leadership issues of the weak or selfish power leaders would all conduct to the breaking up of Rome.

One issue that led the Roman Republic to become an empire was that the common people, known as plebeians, were unhappy with how they were being governed. The laws that had been made were not being followed, and the Romans weren’t following what the most powerful were telling them to do. Instead they were following the commanders because they were being promised riches. A second issue was that from 88-82 B.C. Rome fell into a civil war. The Senate wasn’t able to rule and keep order.

Causes of Rome’s Decline The Roman Empire was the greatest civilization the world had ever seen, it lasted over than a semi-millennium. For a such great, undefeatable Empire to collapse, there should be many powerful causes. There is an endless debate among historians about the different causes that led to this decline moreover, they couldn’t agree on the most influential factors. In this essay, these different causes will be explored and try to find the direct causes of this decline.

Midterm 2 After the fall of the roman empire the people had to face many more challenges since Rome was no longer around to feed and protect the people.

1600 years ago the mediterranean people were doing the same thing that us modern day people are doing now, conquering, claiming, and fighting, but why were they doing this, and who were they doing it too? The Roman empire was one of the strongest empires in history, the “superpower of the Mediterranean world”. In 750 BCE Rome was founded and over time Rome’s wealth, territory, and popularity grew and grew as time went on. They conquered the land of Scotland and Spain, began to control the whole Mediterranean sea, established some colonies around North Africa, the middle east, Asia Minor, and Egypt. They were beginning to expand their empire into almost the entire continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa.

The constant change of emperors caused disorganization in the empire along with the injustices between the wealthy and poor as the wealthy could just bribe their way out of punishment and the government officials would accept the bribes from the rich, followed by severe taxing from the government because they needed to hire Germanic soldiers after their military soldier population decreased by natural disasters while inflation was going on from the government who were devaluing the coin by adding less silver with the wages staying the same, so some Romans switched to bartering and with bartering they didn’t have to pay the severe taxes leading them not being able to hire Germanic soldiers and other state expenses with invasions happening overtime but the Roman army not being able to defend against it because of them neglecting to practice with armor, and soldiers running away against unpredictable attackers with the disorganization within the military from constant emperor changes, furthermore Rome’s military population went down because of diseases and without people paying those severe taxes led to Rome’s fall..

Because of the German tribal leader Herrmann ambushed and destroyed the three Roman legions made Augustus abandon the campaign. This left a problem of border defense that bedeviled his successors. Even though Augustus had 300,000 men, it was barely enough to hold the line from the barbarians.

Political corruption and infighting within the ruling elite weakened the government and undermined the stability of the empire. The decline of the Roman aristocracy and the rise of military dictators further destabilized the empire and made it harder to maintain order and cohesion. External factors also played a role in Rome's decline. The barbarian invasions of the 4th and 5th centuries CE, combined with a series of devastating plagues, weakened Rome's population and made it more vulnerable to attack. The failure of the Western Roman Empire to respond effectively to these challenges ultimately led to its

After the collapse of the Roman Empire the social structure in the West was changed in a relatively short period of time. People were organizing themselves in smaller social structures, less organized, semi-tribal organizations, largely agricultural oriented, allowed a certain cultural fusion of barbaric tribes and what was left from Roman culture. Consequently, huge cities that were once the source of economical, social and political regional power were transformed into decentralized and fragmented smaller territories. The consequences of these local with a very low mobility societies can be traced on two main directions: on one hand, it created isolation, relatively strong communal bonds, very conservative mindset and also diminish the idea
