Description
Rome's downfall was a complex and multifaceted process, driven by a combination of internal weaknesses and external pressures. A devastating environmental disaster on the Asian steppes in the 4th century AD forced the migration of entire peoples, which in turn put immense strain on the Roman Empire. As the empire struggled to cope with the resulting crisis, it made critical errors on the battlefield, exacerbated by civil war, religious unrest, and political incompetence. The result was one of the greatest disasters in ancient history - the sack of Rome by the Goths in AD 410.
