The Roman Empire became less stable over the course of the Third to Fifth centuries CE. Historians point to internal divisions as well as repeated invasions from tribes such as the Huns and the Visigoths as reasons why the Empire fell. The fall of the Western Roman Empire occurred in 476 CE.The main reason for the collapse of Rome was caused by poor leadership, natural disasters, and foreign invasions. Poor leadership is the main reason, and all the other reasons back track to poor leadership.
