There were many causes for the decline of Rome, including barbarian invasions, corruption of government officials, inflation and a weakening economy, and the power of the military to make and remove emperors.

first they were lazy senators did nothing to help the army. Some people call Christianity the main problem but as barbarians attacked the fronts the legions grew restless and sort of let then cross to Rome.

The decline of the mighty Roman Empire is not as much of a single event as a series of worsening conditions, that lasted for hundreds of years. The Empire grew very large in a relatively short period of time, and was very expensive to maintain, and presented vast logistical challenges. Near-constant warfare on various fronts of the Empire did not help in it's survival either. There was slavery, class separation, rampant taxation of the citizenry, power struggles for the seat of "emperor", and many other political intrigues. These are just some suggestions. To attempt to answer this question with a single, simple answer would be to avoid the long and complex history of the empire, and the many things that went on there for centuries.

It IS known that after the great, far-reaching empire eventually collapsed, there followed an anarchistic, lawless period of disorganized chaos across much of Europe that lasted some 500 years. Today, we refer to that as the "Dark Ages." I hope this answer helps with your question.
