The invaders who destroyed Rome were the Barbarians :)
This was history homework in St. Helena :)
ApenninesThis mountain was the mountain that prevented invasions from the eastern population.
The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.
Rome initially acquired Sicily which is located outside of Italy, after the First Punic Water during the period of 241 BCE.
The invasions of the Roman Empire were carried out by Germanic peoples who lived north of the western part of the Roman Empire and were seeking new lands further south. Being further east, the eastern part of he Roman Empire was not affected by these migratory movements. However, over time after the fall of the western part , this part of the empire was suffered invasions (by the Arabs, Slavs and Turks) and eventually lost all of its lands.
Initially the Romans gave Roman citizenship to elite men of the conquered peoples who were loyal to Rome. Then in 215 AD the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizenship to all the freeborn (that is, all except the slaves) in the empire.
rome experienced many invasions from everywhere around europe. eventually they had so much enemies they were taken over in around the 400s
Foreign invasions significantly contributed to the decline of Rome by exacerbating existing internal weaknesses and destabilizing its borders. The relentless pressure from various groups, such as the Visigoths, Vandals, and Huns, strained the Roman military and depleted resources. As these invasions intensified, they led to the loss of territories, weakening the central authority and diminishing Rome's economic power. Ultimately, the inability to effectively respond to these external threats played a crucial role in the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the strain of the invasions. The eastern part of this empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1000 years.

Many empires in history feel due to invasions.
The people threatened to revolt
The fall of Rome was influenced by both external and internal factors. Externally, relentless invasions by barbarian tribes, such as the Visigoths and Vandals, weakened the empire's borders and military. Internally, political instability, economic decline, and corruption eroded effective governance, leading to civil strife and a weakened society. Together, these factors culminated in the eventual collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
Rome was first built on Palatine Hill founded by Romulus.
After the Third Punic War, Rome became the new leading power in the Mediterranean. This threatened Greece because Rome was intent on expanding into Greek land.
External threats to Rome included invasions from various tribes and groups, such as the Visigoths, Vandals, and Huns, who exploited the empire's weakening military and political structures. Additionally, the rise of competing powers, like the Sassanian Empire in the East, posed significant challenges to Rome's territorial integrity. Economic pressures and reliance on mercenary forces further exacerbated vulnerabilities, making the empire susceptible to these external aggressions. Ultimately, these threats contributed to the decline and eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire.
gradual disintegration of the economy of Rome and the barbarian invasions that were its final doom.
