Essay on the fall of rome empire ​

Explanation:

For a long period of time, Rome seemed like an unstoppable empire.  It conquered the majority of the land surrounding it, including Greece, Turkey, Iraq, and many of its other neighboring countries.  It seemed as though Rome would conquer the entire world, as it was the center of it, until it began to decline in 476 C.E.  The very aspects that made it so successful were the ones that caused its collapse.  Various political, religious, and economic reasons caused its downfall.  The fact that the entire economy of Rome collapsed and money became worthless was a major reason for the empire’s collapse.  In addition, the loss of a common religion and lack of efficient ruling in relation to its vast territory affected the empire.  The Roman…show more content…
