The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.

∙ 12y agoThere were several reasons for the collapse of the Roman republic. Among them was corruption, with the wealthiest families being able to buy their way into public office. The tribunes, who were originally supposed to look after the interests of the common people, became political tools of ambitious politicians. The senate was split into two basic groups, those who wanted change, and those who did not. Legislation, except for dire needs, came to a standstill, with the personal bickering between the two sides.

∙ 9y agoThe fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was precipitated by the invasions by the Germanic peoples who were in search of new lands to settle. The Romans lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and they were unable to respond to these invasions. In addition to this, they found it difficult to recruit enough soldiers and relied on recruiting Germanic mercenaries and on the help of Germanic allies.

1. Because of its constant expansion, Rome had a constant influx of slave labor- and then it had a labour deficit when it stops bringing in as many slaves (when the conquests stopped).
2. The territory was too big and a lot of resources were needed to defend it.
(Both of these factors led to problems in the economy, which contributed to its decline.)

What does it mean by Rome fell from within?
This statement mean that the problem or problems came from within the empire (bad government, infighting, crumbling infrastructure, etc.) and not from the outside of the empire. Also there were 8 emperors in the 1st 100 years 29 in the last 100 years. Rome was constantly at civil war with itself while trying to fight of the "barbarians" whom it is really not appropriate to refer to as barbarians as they had control of Rome for the last 50 years or so through puppet emperors. In the end Rome was doomed to fall after Valens waged war on the Goths and Alaric sacked Rome

Did famine have a big impact on ancient rome falling?
Not necessarily. Rome fell mainly because of the Great Migration (people from nearby countries referred to as "Barbarians" came into Rome) so Rome suffered financial problems and military issues. Famine began after plague caused by Rome trying to solve financial problems by trade (plague was brought in by fleas on rats on foreign ships). Hope this helped. :)
