The invasions of the Roman Empire were carried out by Germanic peoples who lived north of the western part of the Roman Empire and were seeking new lands further south. Being further east, the eastern part of he Roman Empire was not affected by these migratory movements. However, over time after the fall of the western part , this part of the empire was suffered invasions (by the Arabs, Slavs and Turks) and eventually lost all of its lands.

The Germanic peoples invaded the western part of the Roman Empire because they were squeezed westward and into central Europe by the invasions of eastern Europe by the Huns. Therefore, the logical route for further migration was westwards.

Because Eastern Rome had paid Attila the Hun to ransack Western Rome.

What forces led to the fall of rome?

The term the fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, rather than the city itself, which was never conquered. This was a process which took several decades. The process was determined by several factors. It was precipitated by the invasions by the Germanic peoples (the Vandals, the Sueves) and the Alans (who were Iranian speakers) who invaded the empire and took over north-western Africa and part of Spain, the Alemanni who took over Switzerland and northwester France and the Burgundians who settled in east France The loss of the agricultural rich territory in Africa lead to a significant loss in revenue for the Roman government. The Visigoths, another Germanic people, who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to south-western France,took advantage of the situation to take over Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Romans lost political unity. There were usurpations and infighting which made it difficult to respond to the invasions effectively. There was also a failure by the combined fleet of the western and eastern part of the Roman Empire to dislodge the Vandals from Africa. It ended in disaster and was very costly. The Romans army became reliant on Germanic soldiers and two Germanic commanders-in chief of the Roman army and installed puppet emperors (three by Ricimer, one by Gundobad and one by Orestes.Amidst this political instability, the reign of the last emperors was short.


What is the history of the Roman Empire and why did the Roman Empire fall?

Answer:There is a lot of history that I know about the Roman Empire; therefore, it will take me forever to answer it. Therefore, I will only tell you how they fell.The Fall of the Holy Roman Empire:I believe the Roman Empire fell because when they split in to the Eastern empire, they could not afford a huge army without the wealthiness of the East. This made them more vulnerable to the East, and there were a lot of diplomatic problems. The main contribution to the fall of the Roman Empire was the Huns, who were nomads who invaded the weaker lands of Rome, and also invaded more heavily armed areas, such as Constantanople.http://www.fsmitha.com/com/Rome.htmAll of this is very true and very important but you shouldn't forget about the goths, their extreme rancor against the Romans modivated them to take over the empire.
