Political, economic, religious, and outside forces were the major factors that led to the fall of the giant empire.

Many foolish decisions my terrible emperors weakened the city and eventually cause the many aspects of life to crumble.

All of the problems could have easily been prevented with the right leadership and common sense. Unqualified rulers caused political problems. The invasions were due to the mistreatment of the new settlers; this mistreatment was due to the Roman mentality to conquer all. Politics and poor management of the roads and public buildings due to the lack of funds to maintain them had a significant effect on the economy. Christianity was outlawed to keep all of the Roman citizens under complete control.
