The fall of the Roman Empire was not due to one event but due to many events combined. Below, you can read the explanations for the factors that led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

<h3 /><h3>Burden of Supporting an Over-expanded Military</h3>

Excessive military spending was a primary reason for the fall of Rome because this left no money for other vital activities. Defending the border of the Empire from attacks was expensive and costly for the government.

<h3>Rise in Power of the Eastern Empire</h3>

The Roman Empire was divided into two, The Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. At the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman empire which was now called Byzantine rose and the capital was shifted from Rome to Constantinople by Emperor Constantine.

<h3>Economic Troubles and Overreliance  on Slave Labor</h3>

The over reliance on slave labor coupled with constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. This made the Roman empire to suffer from severe economic troubles, thus contributing to the decline of the empire.

<h3>Defense Against Barbarians and Huns</h3>

Western Rome's collapse was as a result  of the string of military losses sustained against outside forces. For instance, the Huns invading from the east caused the domino effect. They invaded  the Goths, who then invaded the Roman Empire.

<h3>Weak and Corrupt Political Leaders</h3>

Another important factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire was the successive reign of weak and corrupt leaders. The corruption in Rome was so severe that it contributed in draining the coffers of the Empire.
