What are some external reasons for the fall of rome?
The first problem was the general decline in literacy and stability that began with the Crisis of the Third Century, in about 235 AD, a period of continual civil wars lasting a couple generations. The second problem was that Roman citizens were more an more inclined to allow themselves to be defended by foreigners. The loyalty of the foreign troupes was badly eroded by the fact that they were badly treated. Eventually, even the highest generals were not Roman. Another problem was that the Germanic peoples on the border of the Roman Empire started to migrate into the empire because they were being attacked from farther out. They formed armies which raided until they finally settled down to form kingdoms of their own. The Roman Empire was formally divided in 286, and this division became permanent in 395. The division left each part rather uninterested in the well being of the other. And the East Roman Empire could not help the West, even if it had the will to do so, because of ongoing wars with the Persians. The 5th century saw a series of weak emperors of the West Roman Empire, most of whom were merely puppets of their Germanic generals. There are people who blame Christianity for making people weak. I think the West Roman Empire had reasons enough without that. The East Roman Empire lasted another thousand years, until 1453, when it was destroyed, after many changes in fortune, by the Ottoman Turks, but that is not referred to as the fall of the Roman Empire. There is a link below to an article on the Decline of the Roman Empire.

Why did the Germanic people begin entering Roman territory in large numbers?
The first Germanic peoples to cross into Roman territories did so to carry out raids and loot. They then returned to their homelands. The First Germanic peoples to settle in parts of the Roman Empire were the Salian Franks and the Visigoths. The Salian Franks moved across the mouth of the River Rhine into Holland south of that river and northern Belgium in the late 3rd century. They did so because they were pushed southwards by other Germanic peoples, probably the Saxons. The Romans allowed them to settle in this area, which they called Toxandria, and gave them protection. The Salian Franks became allies of the Romans, and fought alongside their troops and supplied solders for the Roman army. The Visigoths asked the Romans to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the advance of the Huns into eastern Europe. The emperor Valens granted this in 376.
