What sealed the fate of the roman empire?

There were quite a number of factors which lead to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The most decisive one were the invasions by Germanic peoples who took over its lands. The Vandals and Alans took over northwestern Africa. The Sueves took over the northeast of Spain and the Burgundians took over the east of France. Two other Germanic people, the Visigoths and the Franks, who were already settled in the empire and had been Roman allies took over the rest of Spain and France. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. The process of takeover of the lands of this part of the empire did not take place overnight. Another important factor was that with the invasions this part of the empire lost political coherence. There were infighting and usurpations which further weakened the Romans. There also had been a difficulty to recruit enough soldiers for quite some time. This led to the hiring of Germanic soldiers, reliance on the troops of Germanic peoples who were allies of the Romans and Germanic military commanders in the Roman army. These people became militarily crucial and key political players. Some of these military commanders at times became effectively rulers of this part of the empire during its political chaos.
