How did Rome fall?
The ancient Roman Empire fell because it was unable to logistically maintain its military supremacy in Europe. This was despite the de facto control of the government by military leaders in place of the Emperor. After the fall of Rome to Germanic mercenaries in 476 AD, the eastern or Byzantine Empire continued for another 1,000 years until conquered by the Ottomans in the 1400's.In Some DetailThe Western Roman Empire which was ruled by the City of Rome fell because of the lack of manpower to defend its borders from Barbarians who all wanted a piece of the Roman Land. Bad Emperor after Bad Emperor was put on the throne. Each Legion of the Roman Army wanted one of their own people on the throne. Finally, Constantine became Emperor and moved the Capital to Constantinople (modern day Istanbul). While this happened, the Western Empire was put into ruin. More and More often the Western Roman Empire was forced to make deals with the Barbarians who said that they would defend the Western Roman Empire if they were allowed to live in Roman territories.One day Alaric, leader of the Visigoth, realized that Roman Forces were spread thinly in the Empire and in AD 410 he and his Army began to cautiously move South and into Italy. The Romans might have just withdrawn to the Italian Peninsula and held that for another 100-200 years until they had the manpower to retake Europe. But instead, the Roman Army let the barbarians move unopposed through Italy. When they finally reached the city of Rome, they sacked the city. Other barbarians came and attacked the city, but the City of Rome finally stayed out of Roman hands when Romulus Augustus became Emperor of Rome. When Romulus was removed from power in 476 AD, the emperor Zeno of the Eastern Empire accepted the Germanic chieftain Odoacer as ruler of Italy. This marked the end of the Western Roman Empire. :P
What brought the Roman Empire to ruin?
The decline of the Roman empire was a slow process. The end result was the disintegration of what can be called the western part of the empire. The so called eastern half of the empire would be called the Byzantine Empire and last until 1453 when the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople. Frequently cited causes of Rome's decline are partly economic: 1. By the end of the 3rd century AD CE Rome had lost its vigor for its imperialistic form of foreign policy. There were no new lands it was able to conquer and thus no new tax revenues, slave enterprise, no new peoples to bring into the mix of the empire as it had done much earlier in its growth. 2. The agricultural and industrial part of the economy was slave driven, and as cited above, no new slaves were available. 3. As with many economic downturns, gold and silver currency lay uninvested and took no part in reversing the decline. 4. The western half of the empire operated in a closed manner and the vigorous commercial trading that had once spanned the empire began to be localized. The Roman government was aware of the decline and failed to stop it when the coinage was debased. What could be bought with 10 pieces of silver now cost as example 15 pieces. 1. The government tried to freeze prices and wages. A nearly impossible task in the US in the 1970's and impossible in an old empire. 2. Trying to control the activities of farm owners and their workers to a planned economy did not help. 3. Various forms of taxation to control the economy by shifts in tax burdens failed. 4. Private initiative basically and slowly declined. 5. The government could no longer fund a military force to stop incursions from barbarians.
What was the immediate cause of the fall of the Roman empire?
Rome fell in 410 BC with the invasion of the Barbarian tribes. When the Visigoths took Rome the empire was done. This set in motion a 1000 years of chaos since the Roman government kept all the roads, bridges, and government/military intact. With this gone no one had any protection or services. People had to fend for themselves to survive , so little kingdoms and serfdom's were created and people depended them for protection and services. It was a very dark time in Europe and it wasn't until the Crusades that Europe started to come out of it.

The major cause of the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was the invasions by the Germanic peoples. These peoples and two more Germanic peoples, who had been allowed to settle in parts of the empire and also took over lands in this part of the empire, eventually seized of all the lands of this part of the empire, except for Italy.

The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
