The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. It occurred in the late 5th century. 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 first Germanic invasions occurred in 406 BC when the Vandal, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians crossed the river Rhine which was the frontier of the Roman Empire. Historians have set 476 as the conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. In this year, Romulus Augustus, the last emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic military commander of the Roman army who led a rebellion of Germanic soldiers who had been stationed in Italy by the Romans and had been refused a grant of land in Italy. Some historians dispute this convention.
