Answer:
When they stopped conquering people, they stopped taking slaves. Much of the rural economy was built around slavery and there was a pretty firm bias against allowing slaves to have children- the investment in raising a slave child not to mention the loss of productivity of the mother and the possible death or both mother and child during childbirth led slave owners to prohibit much breeding.
Allowing slaves to have children and form family bonds also made them more likely to revolt- humans often fight harder for the rights of their children for their own.
So, without a renewable source of slaves, it became very difficult to run farms and vineyards. Without profitable and productive agriculture, there were less taxes. With less taxes, there were less funds to do civic improvements like maintaining aqueducts and roads and support standing armies.
Emperors decided to raise taxes on everyone to make up the difference which led to the ruin of many private citizens and the marked increase in wealth of the nobility who were often exempt from many taxes (which they voted for, themselves, as senators) leaving them with the funds to buy up neighboring properties and essentially, their neighbors to work the land. Feudalism grew out of a switch from a civic or community focus to a self or family focus.
The Eastern Roman Empire maintained a strong base of taxation and a standing army for a thousand years after the fall of the West, but their economy wasn't nearly as dependent on slaves for labor. They survived by repeatedly reforming their style of government to suit the current needs without ever losing the power of the central government.

Explanation:
Which genocide? There were many. That's the worst part of human history-- war and genocides.
The first major problem is hatred. Someone hates someone else. The side doing that hating always has the power to create a genocide. There isn't much that you can do about that: people hate and they have the power to indulge their hatred. There is nothing that can persuade people not to hate. The way to fight it is, sadly, to let the genocide happen.
Usually when people think of genocides, they think of the European one between 1942 and 1945 in Nazi Germany. The war had been going on for just about 3 years before the Wannsee Conference took place in January of 1942. By then Germany was beginning to weaken and people accepted easily that the Jews were somehow at the bottom of loosing the war. The Jews were certainly credited with being at the bottom of the loss of WWI. Still, there was nothing that could be done. Hitler's Propaganda was more easily accepted once Germany's casualties began to mount.
Prior to the Wannsee Conference, Madagascar was suggested as a possible relocation place for the Jews. The high ranking German officials rejected this, especially when Madagascar began to fall to the allies in beginning in May of 1942.
The death camps had their birth in this background.
The doors closed to the Jewish people in Great Britain, in the United States and in every other location they could have gone to.
I hate to be a pessimist, but once the ground work was laid, nothing could prevent a the German Holocaust. There are no steps that could be taken because no one fully disagreed with German Policy.
The main reason why the twenties are sometimes called an "age of prosperity", especially in the United States, is that "<span>A.Incomes throughout the United States grew and the middle class held most of the wealth," due mostly to speculation in the stock market. </span>
