The senate did not play much of a role in the process which led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.

The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire saw continuous military fighting and much of this was about power struggles among powerful people in the empire. The senate was often sidelined and did not have much of a say.
