The Fall of Rome Standard 7.1.1

Political Causes of the Fall of Rome Bad leadership After 235 A.D. Rome became very unstable Within 50 years there were 22 different emperors. Emperors were concerned more about being important than keeping Rome’s greatness All Romans knew the Praetorian Guard had the real power …which led to…

Social Problems (physical)… Roads and Bridges were destroyed Fields were destroyed – hunger spread Trade became unsafe Fewer jobs – less production of goods External Attacks - Germanic Tribes invade Roman Empire …which led to…

Military and Social (the people) Problems… Military - The army broke down, the Roman government could not pay soldiers Army loses much of its strength …which led to… People- a decline in moral and social values Romans not proud of being Roman

Economic Problems $$$ Trade became unsafe, fewer jobs Inflation caused prices of goods to go up People can’t afford to buy goods People returned to bartering because the government put less gold in coins …which led to…

People Who Tried to Save Rome…. Diocletian – the emperor divided the empire into 4 parts. Each part had a leader that would report back to Emperor His efforts to save Rome… FAILED

Saving Rome …. Constantine – Moved capital from Rome to Constantinople First emperor to become Christian His efforts to save Rome… FAILED

Saving Rome… Theodosius – upon his death the empire was split permanently into two parts  (schism)

Now Two Empires Western Roman Empire = Rome as capital Eastern Roman Empire, later called Byzantine Empire = Constantinople as capital

Rome is Invaded Empire began fighting invading Germanic tribes (Visigoths) who take over
