The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples who took over its lands. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.

The conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire is given as 476, the year when the last emperor in the west, Romulus Augustus, was deposed.

Answer 3

The term decline and fall of the empire is used because the empire begun to decline centuries before the actual fall of the western part of the empire. There was a decline in the economy of the empire with a big reduction in the volume of trade and the collapse of the urban economy. There was also a decline in the ability of the empire to defend itself from attacks from outside.

The fall of the Western Roman Empire (the western part of the empire) was quite quick and occurred as a result of the Germanic invasions. These Germanic peoples took over most of the lands of the west. The eastern Roman Empire (the eastern part of the empire) was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years.
