'Causes of the Decline and Fall of the Western Roman Empire\r'

'The attend of the roman print imperium was essential by A. D. 476. Christianity had weakened the bonds that had held it together, the stack became corrupt, and it got in any case big. It was withal because of the barbarian attacks. All empires at long last fall and capital of Italy’s conviction had come to an end. When discussing the causes of the fall of the papistical imperium one has to see that this occurred over many a(prenominal) years and had many varied facets. distri thoively issue has to be addressed on an individual basis with the understanding that they simultaneously combined to the enmity within the imperium and the falling of the borders that had been accomplished during its height.\r\nBy the end of the second ampere-second AD, the empire encompassed most of the Mediterranean, including Spain, France, most of Britain, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, the in-between East, Egypt, and Northern Africa. The consecrate of the romish Empire was a cal amity; it offers to the inglorious (Middle) Ages. beholding all the bad that came of it, the destruction of art, the collapse of great cities, the deterioration of the system of roads, the transgress of the Mediterranean trade, and the loss of European mavenâ€its difficult to imagine any grievous came of it. except some good did result. The knock up of the empire rifle to the abolishment of slavery in Europe.\r\nOf course, this, in turn, led to much poverty and the increase of latifundia because the inadequate good deal mixed-up their estate to the aristocrats. But the slaves were better off as peasants than as slaves. Christianity was a major cause of the fall of capital of Italy. Although Rome had religious tolerance, Romans, especially Jews, didn’t accept Christianity. A lot of people reborn to Christianity because they lost faith in the Romans. At first most Christians were Jews but less strict. Many values were different but they still followed Jewis h dietary laws and shared many beliefs with the Jews.\r\nThe early Christians also got circumcised. Even Jesus got circumcised because he was natural a Jew. so he mentation he was God’s messenger but many other people during that time also thought that so most people started off non believing him. The Christians started adopting the values that they fork up right away during the time that Saul/Paul was alive. At first he started off as a Jew who dis manage Jesus and hated the Christians but then he converted and traveled around spreading the thoughts of Christians but he said that Christians didn’t pauperization to follow the Jewish dietary laws and they didn’t need to get circumcised.\r\nThe Romans and the Jews didn’t like the message that Jesus was spreading so they crucified him. One impact that Jesus had was that more than people didn’t want to wed the military and they didn’t want to come in in the community. Since the peopl e stopped participate in government and they didn’t pairing the army, the Roman army composed of the Barbarians from Germany. These Barbarians lead disorganized attacks and even attacked other Roman Barbarian groups. Because of these sloppy attacks, Rome’s army fell and it was no longitudinal the military superpower it was before.\r\nAlso, many of the lands that Rome had conquered wanted independence and broke costless of the Roman Empire. Herbert J. Muller argues in his watchword Uses of the Past that Rome got full-bodied by hold impudently lands and because of trade with new markets and when the Barbarian attacks went unsuccessful they got no more land therefore losing their source of wealth. Edward gibbon argues the opposite in his book The scorn and Fall of the Roman Empire. He says that the Roman Empire fell because it was too widespread. He says that there was too much land for the government to govern and because of that the government lost money.\r\nBy the end of the Roman Empire it was widespread and had many land. By conquering these lands they got many slaves from war and from these new lands. The copiousness of slaves lead to the growth of latifundia, large estates take ined by the rich. These slaves were willing to work overweight for little pay so the rich got richer and the poor grew poorer. The poor coloni [farmers] lost their lands and the aristocrats bought them out. Then the poor farmers went to the city and became dependent on handouts from the government such as large-minded grain.\r\nThere were many causes for the fall of the Roman Empire. Some causes were the rise of Christianity, the fall of the army, the teemingness of slaves and the size of the empire. Because of all these reasons and many more Rome couldn’t survive which lead to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The east Roman empire survived and became the Byzantine Empire. Rome’s fall lead to the Dark Ages but Rome has an impact in our everyday culture because they influenced the Greeks of whose culture we have copied in order to build our own culture.\r\n'
