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. 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.
During this process, Rome was sacked three times (by the Visigoths, 410, the Vandals, 455, and the Ostrogoths, 456) but was not destroyed. During the Middle Age the population of Rome declined dramatically. Its importance in Western Europe was maintained by its being the seat of the Popes, who were the heads of Christianity in the whole of Western Europe before the Protestant Reformation. Rome declined further during the period of the Avignon Papacy (1309 to 1377). During this period the popes resided in Avignon, France. Rome became unimportant. Its population fell to 50,000 and many of its buildings decayed. When the popes returned to Rome, they set out to rebuild the city and restore its grandeur
