Honestly, most people probably did not notice.

Many historians date the fall of the Roman Empire at 476 AD. Others use other dates, some as early as the 4th century, and some as late as the 6th. It was not something that happened on a date, however, so much as a process that went on for over 100 years.

By 476 AD, the Vandals had taken over much of North Africa, the Visigoths had taken much of Spain, the Franks and Burgundians had set up kingdoms in France, and Britain and Dacia had both been long since not in the Roman Empire.

On the other had, the East Roman Empire was still going strong. It retook the Vandal Kingdom and Italy in the years after 476, along with part of Spain. And it continued to operate for nearly 1000 years more. The Senate of the West Roman Empire continued to function until at least 603 AD.

Yes. Type "Roman Empire" on Google and you'll see. In fact Europe was part of the Roman Empire since about half of it was in "Europe" as now defined, but the non-European parts - Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, N Africa - had more than half the population, and the Eastern Empire (largely outside Europe) became the more important part over time.
