The Roman Empire fell‚ due to the weakening of the military‚ their failing economy‚ and invaders trying to take over the city of Rome. Since the military was weakening‚ Rome’s army had to have a draft with paid soldiers. Since people didn’t want to fight for their country‚ they lost loyalty to Rome.
