Alaric, the leader of the Visigoths, placed a siege on Rome in 410 AD primarily due to the Roman Empire's failure to fulfill its promises of land and resources in exchange for military service. The Visigoths were seeking better living conditions and recognition of their status. Additionally, Alaric aimed to demonstrate the vulnerability of Rome, which had long been considered invincible, marking a significant moment in the decline of the Western Roman Empire. The siege culminated in the sack of Rome, a pivotal event in the history of the empire.
