The western part of the Roman Empire fell under the stain of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of this empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.

What were the weaknesses that led to the fall of the roman empire?

The fall of the Roman Empire usually refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire in the 5th century. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. The fall of this part of the empire was precipitated by the invasions of the Germanic peoples. The weaknesses of the Romans were lack of unity and reliance of allied Germanic troops. There were in-fights between the Romans which made a concerted response to the invasions difficult. Moreover, Germanic soldiers who had risen through the ranks were made commanders-in-chiefs of the Roman army in the west and who seized effective power.

How did christianity contibute to the fall of the roman empire?

Christianity transformed the religious map of the Roman Empire. It became the religion of the masses of the empire in Late Antiquity. Mainstream Christianity (the early form of the Catholic and the Orthodox churches) became the state religion of the empire, whilst other Christian sects were branded heretic and persecuted, particularly Arian Christianity, which was popular around the empire. Catholicism at that time was called Latin or Western Christianity and it was the religion of the western part of the empire. The Orthodox Church was called Greek or Eastern Christianity and was the religion of the eastern part of the empire. The pagan Roman religion did not disappear, but it became sidelined and was persecuted.

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.

How did the punic wars lead to the fall of the roman empire?

They didn't. The Punic Wars, fought in the second and third centuries BCE, were between Carthage and the Roman Republic. The empire began over a hundred years after the end of the third and last Punic War (149-146 BCE). The fall of the Roman Empire (in the West, anyway), occurred almost 500 years after its founding (27 BCE), by which time Carthage had been destroyed, rebuilt, made part of the Roman empire and abandoned to the Vandals.


What role did christianity play in the fall of rome?

I think that Christianity played an important role before and during the fall of the Roman Empire. Historians explain that this made Roman citizens become pacifist which made it easier for the barbarians to invade Rome. This explains why it was so easy for the barbarians to infiltrate into the city of Rome. Another reason why Christianity held a major role for the decline of empire was that money was used to construct churches instead of having been used to uphold the Roman Empire.

How did the Romans influence the spread of religion and what was the main religion they practiced?

The Romans spread two different religions: pagan religion and Catholicism. In the early days of the Roman empire, they spread pagan Roman religion that is usually referred today as Roman Mythology. In 312 AD, Emperor Constantine converted to Catholicism, and made it the state religion in 313. After that point Catholicism was spread by the sword across the Roman Empire. This practice continued until the fall of the Roman Empire, and was picked up by most of the kingdoms that rose out of that collapse. The general way of spreading religion within the Roman Empire, and even more so by the governments that followed the fall of the Roman Empire, was if you did not convert to Catholicism, you died.
