Reliance on slave labor Indenture of farmers to wealthy landowners Unemployment Welfare system

16 Social Causes Population decline caused by war and disease
Decline in patriotism, discipline, and devotion to duty Spread of Christianity Devotion of upper classes to luxury and self-interest

17 Military Causes Poorly trained armies Army deteriorates
Little loyalty among hired soldiers Threat of the Huns Series of Germanic invasions beginning in 3rd century
