What major events led to the eventual decline and fall of the roman empire?
Population pressure from the German tribes
What caused the final collapse of the western roman empire?
The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The Romans lacked unity and were unable to fend off these invasions. These peoples, and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire, took over lands in this part of the empire. Eventually all of its lands were seized, except for Italy. At the end of this process, even Italy was taken over by the Ostrogoths, who were sent there by the eastern Roman Emperor to depose a usurper.
What is the official language of the roman empire how has the language or Romans influenced modern languages?
Latin was the official language of the empire. It has influenced many languages in the continent of Europe, many of which are the major languages of the world. The languages that come from Latin are described as the Romance Languages, the main ones are: French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian. However, many languages show influence of Latin, though not being considered a Romance language. One great example would be English. English is considered a Germanic language, but is a mix of Germanic and French, thus indirectly influenced by Latin. There is also the Latin Alphabet, which is used by most languages spoken in Europe (Germanic and Romance).
What is considered as a major cause of fall of the roman empire?
The invasions by the Germanic peoples precipitated the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. They eventually took over all of its lands. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
