What are some external reasons for the fall of rome?
The first problem was the general decline in literacy and stability that began with the Crisis of the Third Century, in about 235 AD, a period of continual civil wars lasting a couple generations. The second problem was that Roman citizens were more an more inclined to allow themselves to be defended by foreigners. The loyalty of the foreign troupes was badly eroded by the fact that they were badly treated. Eventually, even the highest generals were not Roman. Another problem was that the Germanic peoples on the border of the Roman Empire started to migrate into the empire because they were being attacked from farther out. They formed armies which raided until they finally settled down to form kingdoms of their own. The Roman Empire was formally divided in 286, and this division became permanent in 395. The division left each part rather uninterested in the well being of the other. And the East Roman Empire could not help the West, even if it had the will to do so, because of ongoing wars with the Persians. The 5th century saw a series of weak emperors of the West Roman Empire, most of whom were merely puppets of their Germanic generals. There are people who blame Christianity for making people weak. I think the West Roman Empire had reasons enough without that. The East Roman Empire lasted another thousand years, until 1453, when it was destroyed, after many changes in fortune, by the Ottoman Turks, but that is not referred to as the fall of the Roman Empire. There is a link below to an article on the Decline of the Roman Empire.

How did the Germanic people make a living?
Contrary to the picture painted by several Roman writers - who described them as almost superhuman warriors, if only to make their victories over them look more heroic - most Germanic peoples lived as farmers and cattle breeders. Since Germany at the time was mostly covered by dense forests, many of them lived in small communities in places where they had cleared the forest to make room for huts and fields for crops and cattle. Some Germanic tribes who lived close to sources of copper and iron would live from mining and selling it. Germanic tribes living closer to the border with the Roman Empire quickly discovered that a good living might be made - including chances of promotion and who knows, even Roman citizenship - by joining the Roman Army. Rome was especially keen to enlist them as cavalry soldiers. Over time, tens of thousands of Germanic tribesmen became Roman soldiers and in the final period of the Roman Empire even made up the majority of the Roman border regiments in the area.
Why did Rome crumble?
It was the western part of the Roman Empire which collapsed. There are many reasons for this. The most important factor were the invasions of this part of the empire by Germanic peoples who took over all of its lands, expert for Italy. Eventually Italy was also taken over by Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years.
