The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the Germanic invasions which led to the fall of the western part of this empire and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
One problem was a massive army which was very expensive. At one point the imperial government became barely able to fund the expenses for soldier pay and military supplies. This led to oppressive taxation regimes which were deeply resented by the people. Another problem was the invasions of the empire. During the 3rd century there were many invasions at very distant points along the vast frontiers of the empire. The army managed to repel them, but came under great stress and was overstretched. This led to a period of military anarchy. In the 5th century there was another wave of invasions in the western part of the Roman Empire. This led to the fall of this part of the empire. There were times of civil war. These occurred when there were power struggles between claimants to the imperial title or there were usurpers who wanted to seize the imperial title or take over parts of the empire
The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was due to invasions and internal problems equally. The mishandling of the demands of Alaric I the king of the Visigoths (who were allies of the Romans who lived in the empire) by the emperor Honorius led to Alaric's invasion Italy. To strengthen its position in Italy the Roman army redeployed troops from Gaul. This made the invasion of Gaul by the Vandals, Sueves, Alans and Burgundians easier. Under the strain of the invasions, this part of the Roman Empire lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurper emperors. Under such conditions the Romans of the western part of the Roman Empire were not able to respond to the invasions effectively.

The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was precipitated by the invasions of this part of the empire by the Germanic peoples, rather than citizens indifference and loss of patriotism. It was said that many citizens were indifferent to these invasions because they were not worse than the Roman government. This attitude was due to resentment towards the oppressive taxation regime which the Roman state needed to fund a large army and a bloated bureaucracy.
