Invasions by Barbarian tribes The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders.

Why did the Western Roman Empire collapse but not the Eastern Roman Empire? There were several crises in the “late” Roman Empire. Then, there was the crisis of the third century which almost caused the collapse of the Roman Empire. Usurper states were formed in the West and the East.

Romans are Italian. In ancient times Romans came from the city of Rome and were similar to Italians but were not the same.
