It depends on how you read the question.
If the question is asking: How did the Romans' defeat of the Jews affect Jewish history?
After the second Jewish revolt, the emperor Hadrian came down hard on them. They were forbidden to even enter Jerusalem or to practice their religion. Many were enslaved, most were scattered away from their homeland.
If the question is asking: How did the capitulation of the Roman Empire (to the Vandals in the West and the Muslims in the East) affect Jewish history?
The downfall of the Western Roman Empire led to a period of incredible instability in numerous European Jewish communities. The Romans in the later centuries had continued to persecute Jews, but these persecutions were "even" for wont of a better term. The negative events were regular. The Gothic States throughout Western Europe would alternate between mild toleration and vicious pogroms. Jews were often forced to migrate northward and eastward into Germanic and Polish territories to seek anonymity. As the Catholic Church grew increasingly more powerful, a new wave of Jew-hatred spread across much of Europe. Some leaders, like Charlemagne ignored the Church's Anti-Semitism, but most complied leading to a European Jew-hatred around the turn of the millennium that would not be rivaled until the modern age.
In the East, the Byzantine Empire held onto the Levant region for only 150 more years, but the Byzantine Empire was a religiously zealous empire which continued discriminatory practices against the Jewish population. However, frequent Byzantine religious wars with the Persian Sassanids (who were Zoroastrian) weakened the Byzantine defenses sufficiently to allow the Arab Muslims to conquer the Levant and bring the former Byzantine Jews into the Muslim State. The Muslim Caliphates were, on the whole, generally more tolerant, relegating Jews to a second-class status where they could avoid pogroms as long as they did not offend Muslims. It was under Muslim occupation that Jews were able to practice their religion and compose major works of the Jewish religion such as Maimonides' commentaries.
The Romans forbade Jews to live in or visit Jerusalem. They began calling Judah by the name of Palestine, which refers to the Philistines, whom the Israelites had conquered centuries before.
Answer:
The Roman conquest affected the Jews by destroying many communities and the Temple.
Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, the two sons of the Jewish King Yannai (Johanan Hyrcanus, 1st century BCE), got the Romans involved in Judea when they asked the Romans to settle a dispute. At first the Romans were cordial; and they actually became party to a military treaty with Judea (Talmud, Avodah Zara 9a). A couple of decades later, however, they unilaterally abrogated the treaty, and placed Roman governors over the land who afflicted the Jews with crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a). In the first two centuries CE, things got worse, with the Romans destroying the Second Temple and temporarily outlawing Torah-observances, and the Jews attempting to revolt. The Romans destroyed large numbers of Jewish communities in the Holy Land, and they killed some of the leading Jewish sages.
(During those times that the Romans didn't interfere with the internal life of the Jews, the reason was because the Romans wanted to receive their taxes. That, and making sure none of their colonies planned rebellions, was usually the only thing that the Romans were really concerned about.)
Initially, the area of Judaea was treated leniently, with the Jews being allowed to practice their religion and retain a degree of self-rule. A long as they paid their taxes to Rome and accepted the High Priest that Rome sanctioned, the two cultures got along. However when a politico/religious dispute arose such as in the two Jewish revolts, there was big trouble and it was not for the Romans. After the first Jewish revolt, the temple was looted and destroyed and many of the population enslaved. Those who were allowed to remain in or around Jerusalem were reduced to poverty. The second Jewish revolt was the harshest as the Jews were not only enslaved and the population scattered, but no Jew was allowed to enter Jerusalem. Hadrian even changed the name of the province from Judaea (land of the Jews) to Palestina (land of the Philistines).
Well if you are talking about the Jews in the region, many were killed and some of those who survied were inslaved and moved to rome to be sold off or help build the Colosseum. A few people in the region converted to new religions.
In Rome there were still extream jewish fernatics, but most just kept jewish morals and some trudisions and married other slaves who were from all over the empire.
Israelites faced more threats to their land, invaders swept through the region in the mid-1000s BC.
Besides the crushing taxation (Talmud, Yoma 9a), they destroyed Jerusalem outright, plowing it over (Talmud, Taanith 26a). Hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed (Josephus).

military conquest
King Herod the Great was hated by the Jews, as were his sons and successors. He was regarded as an outsider who led Roman troops in the final conquest of Jerusalem. Once established as king, Herod sought to gain favour among the Jews by rebuilding the Temple on a much grander scale, a project that eventually gained some support for him among the Jews.
It depends entirely on which conquest is being referred to.

Roman conquest resulted in the spread of Latin language throughout Europe, influencing many languages and leading to the development of Romance languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. Latin also became the language of scholarship, science, and religion in the Roman Empire, further solidifying its influence.
