World History

Mr. Crandell

The fall of The Roman Empire

            The Direct cause of the Roman Empire was how the Germans that were protecting Roman Land let In German tribes such as the Vandals, and the Huns. By doing this It was very easy from that point on for the tribes to take over, the German tribes didn’t wonder why it was so easy they just saw it as if your pounding on a door and it wont open and then right when you stop knocking it opens, you don’t question, you just attack. It was easy because the Romans had Germans help them protect their land at the borders/ boundaries. This reminds me about that that time when the USA was in the moon race of the 1960s, when Neil Armstrong got to the moon he didn’t say this is so easy why has no body done this before, he just enjoyed it. I believe that these are the emotions that the German tribes felt when they were successful in their take over of the Roman Empire.
