The emperor Aurelian (reigned 270-275) restored order and the unity of the empire. He ended the Crisis of the Third Century in which the empire was continually invaded by its neighbours, there were military rebellions and usurper emperors, and two parts of the empire broke away. His successes against invaders and in ending usurpations and secessions earned him the title of "Restitutor Orbis" (Restorer of the World).

Aurelian defeated the peoples who were attacking the empire. He defeated the Alemanni (after a devastating war) Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi. He also re-unified the empire by defeating two breakaway parts: the Palmyrene Empire in the Middle East and the Gallic Empire in Gaul and Britannia.

Neither Aurelian, nor next few emperors, restored full stability. He himself was murdered because he was tough on corruption. Two of the next three emperors were also murdered. The next emperor and his sons managed to gain further stability for the empire. Then Diocletian's decided that one man could not rule the vast empire alone because of the murders of previous emperors and because there was tension in nearly all the provinces of the empire. Therefore, he created the tetrarchy (rule by four). He subdivided the empire into four administrative units and put two senior emperors and two junior emperors in charge of them. This system provided stability during his reign. However, when he retired these men fought each other. Constantine I fought two civil wars, became the sole emperor and restored stability.

The fall of the western roman empire could have been avoided?

It is unlikely. The invasions of the western part of the Roman Empire by the Germanic peoples were migrations of whole peoples and were part of the migration period. This was a period of migrations from northern Europe to central and eastern Europe which had started 250 year earlier. It continued after the fall of the west with the migration of the Slavs into eastern Europe. The Slavs took over most of the European territories of the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the west (the so-called Byzantine Empire).
