Answer:
Explanation:
The fall of the Western Roman Empire (also called the fall of the Roman Empire or the fall of Rome), c. 376-476, was the process of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which the Empire failed to enforce its rule, and its vast territory was divided into several successor polities. The Roman Empire lost the strengths that had allowed it to exercise effective control over its Western provinces; modern historians posit factors including the effectiveness and numbers of the army, the health and numbers of the Roman population, the strength of the economy, the competence of the Emperors, the internal struggles for power, the religious changes of the period, and the efficiency of the civil administration. Increasing pressure from invading barbarians outside Roman culture also contributed greatly to the collapse. The reasons for the collapse are major subjects of the historiography of the ancient world and they inform much modern discourse on state failure.
FALL OF BYZANTINE EMPIRE:
The fall of the Byzantine Empire was precipitated by a very slow decline that began in the sixth century after the Bubonic Plague struck. The empire’s population gradually shifted away from urban areas leading to less centralized leadership and the inability to resist growing Muslim power in the region.
