The Roman Republic fell mainly because of corruption, but other factors such as the split in the senate between the optimates ad the populares, the buying off of the tribunes by politicians and the bribery of officials all added to the fall. Military strongmen contributed, as during the republic the army swore their oaths of loyalty to their generals, not to their country. This enabled men such as Caesar and Sulla to march on Rome.

How did christianity contibute to the fall of the roman empire?

Christianity transformed the religious map of the Roman Empire. It became the religion of the masses of the empire in Late Antiquity. Mainstream Christianity (the early form of the Catholic and the Orthodox churches) became the state religion of the empire, whilst other Christian sects were branded heretic and persecuted, particularly Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire. Catholicism at that time was called Latin or Western Christianity and it was the religion of the western part of the empire. The Orthodox Church was called Greek or Eastern Christianity and was the religion of the eastern part of the empire. The pagan Roman religion did not disappear, but it became sidelined and was persecuted.

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. Historians have argue for a great number of reasons or factors which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. Therefore, there are many theses. There are even historians who argue that this part of the Roman Empire did not fall. Instead, there was a transformation of this part of the empire into a new system of governance and culture. 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.
