And even then, half of it survived and remained one of the strongest and richest states in the world for centuries- the Eastern Roman Empire centred on Constantinople. They even managed to take back all of Italy and North Africa with some parts of Spain but God had to nerf the Romans again with the literal Bubonic plague that wiped out a third of the population and climate change through once in a million years volcanic eruption which caused mass famines. Even then they managed to remain strong until a 30 year disastrous war with rival Persia and the literal rise of Islam cause partial collapse leading them to lose their richest provinces and their superpower status. And *even then* they managed to survive, eventually seeing a period of growth and reconquest that would see them become the stongest European and Middle Eastern State. I could keep going through these cycles but you get the idea. The Romans were beyond resilient. What a juggernaut.

The Roman Empire never fell, it rebranded itself, ie; The Roman Catholic Church and a few subsiduaries created after a director spill and shareholder revolt in what became known as "The Reformation". The attempt to reclaim market share with "The Crusades" is generally regarded as a marketing disaster, though with rigourous promotion and advertising it had considerable success in what became known as lesser developed regions.

History taught us that the only way to defeat a huge unbeatable empire is to let itself crumble down into pieces.

Rome did not so much fall but more faded away. Once the empire was split in half the empires ability to deal with constant invasions, especially in the west, was greatly diminished. As the empire sustained military loses it was carved up piece by piece. With each new region being lost the tax revenue was lost, making the empire that much weaker. A downward economic and military spiral. Octavian (Augustus) himself knew the empire would not last forever and wrote that in personal letters that I have read.

Wealth disparity and corruption. Sounds familiar.

If anyone is interested in this topic I would highly recommend reading “The Fall of the Roman Empire” by Peter Heather. It is very likely that what caused the Empire to fall wasn’t necessarily internal corruption (which always existed) or a decline in the quality of Roman troops, but an enormous wave of migration of Germanic peoples brought upon by the invasions of the Huns. An additional factor was the rise of Sassanid Persia, ironically seen by most contemporaries as the biggest threat to Rome, which prevented the East from providing effective aid to the West. The final nail in the coffin was when Geiseric conquered and maintained control of Africa, which was where much of the late empire’s wealth came from

@weignerleigner3037

Жыл бұрын

Ehh I would disagree. Those are certainly factors but when you go down the years rome was starting to collapse centuries before it technically did. And let’s not forget the eastern part of the empire which is really where most of it wealth came from, thrived after the western part collapsed. Just like all empires before and after, it collapsed under its own weight. Inflation, climate change, internal issues like lead poisoning which affected the most populated areas of the empire, invasions from the Germanic tribes, in fighting between the ruling class, there’s a ton of variables that contributed to the collapse. They say by the end of the empire the people within the city of rome were happy that the city was being taken over by others.

@randomuser6175

If you read The Fall of the West The Death of the Roman Superpower from Adrian Goldsworthy, you will see he sings a different tune which makes more sense. He is basically saying the lack of a clear succession law and internal strife caused the fall. No one was poweful enough to go against a united Roman empire at the time but if every influential man in the empire wants to be the emperor you can't survive very long. In every civil war Romans died by tens of thousands which crippled the Roman population. That's why they had to rely on German, Goth and even Hunnic Auxiliaries later on. Plus to be able to wage those civil wars every general called legions from frontiers to boost their own numbers and that made the frontiers weaker and weaker. "Barbarians" took advantage and empire fell. Of course that internal strife caused economical decline. It's actually a very long process which starts after Pax Romana.

There are no clear answers on what is the main cause for the fall of the Roman Empire. But what is certain is that there are multiple causes that triggers the fall of Rome. Examples are the religious conflict between Greco-paganism and Christianity, the conflict between different sects of Christianity such as Arianism and the Nicene Church, climate change, the arrival of the Huns, high corruption, constant civil war, the division of the western and the eastern empire, and hiring barbarians as Foederati.

All the other factors were contributory but were not new and those factors continued in the Eastern Empire after the West had collapsed. but the East survived another 1000 years.

3:22 false. That's something of a new kind of urban myth. We actually have records of sensational persecutory efforts. 1) by the Roman historian Tacitus describing how Nero shifted blame for the fire onto Christians and had them covered in beast skins and torn apart by dogs; and two early 4th-century works arguably constituting a gold standard of what an explicit historical undertaking of the time might look like, esp. RE suffering of Christians under Roman rule up until that time: 2) On the Deaths of the Persecutors by Lactantius 3) The Church History of Eusebius, written by the bishop of Caesarea in modern-day Israel. 2 and 3 were finished during Constantine's reign. You can suggest the lions stories are uncorroborated (debatable considering applying comparable standards to our other Rome sources). But it's untrue to say that there's no historical basis, regardless the misgivings of 19th century editors. And it's not your first video getting a major detail wrong and mischaracterizing a group.

Rome was doomed to fall. A string of terrible emperors, a weakened economy, and an increase of stronger opponents acted like a ticking time bomb.

yeah, only right emperor can choose right choice about exits of chaos, however i remember the corruption of empire roman can easily take wrong person who take emperor job into total disaster of empire roman. as today Russia is full of corruption and lack of military techology, as russia was been three times of fall of empire as Empire russian, Ussr and now Russia Putin, do you know future can't easily means there are future empire of earth is too big about appear corruption, chaos conflicts and lose trust of emperor or president or worse much. as explame of civilization humanity will fall into Stone Age from great enemy of humanity on space or some most theart and deadliest of universe. but small country or small planet can enough survival of last humanity on future won't easy.

They failed to evolve. Rome was strong because they figured out the formula of power before most people.. “gather up all the tribes to make one massive machine” in time the Germanic tribes and other people elsewhere figured that out. Mix that with Romes enemies who were 5’9 to 6’5 tall and the massive weapons they had.. (Rome had muskets and everyone else had Gatling guns) the Roman’s power counted for nothing.. one swing from those giants knocked many Roman’s back. I agree with the video.. they should have did what america has done and treated everyone good and in return america had many people of different backgrounds fighting for her and gaining the loyalty of some of the countries these people came from.. it might’ve been a super power today and Latin would be spoken by many.

The complex combination of several factors contributed to the “Fall” of the Roman Empire: political, social, cultural, military, economic, environmental, climatic; but the single greatest reason for the collapse was simply this: the rich increasingly became incredibly rich while the rest were plunged into desperate poverty. Deprived of a robust, confident, informed, secure, productive and stable middle class of citizens (which had made the empire possible in the first place) the Roman State could not survive. The increasing economic, social and political marginalization of the citizen body eventually led to a complete breakdown of public institutions and mores. Under those conditions a total systems collapse is always inevitable. ADDENDUM (edit). Leaders and plutocrats beware: diminish the middle class at your (and our combined) peril; the very system that made your wealth, power and privilege possible will collapse if the most productive segment of society is not there to support and uphold it.

Precisely what is happening today. The USA used to have a much more equal society than "old" Europe. So it thrived. Now the roles are reversed with the US now having the most unequal society in the rich world. And surprise, surprise, is now deeply divided. Another similarity with Rome - over reliance on military power.

I would say the underlying this economic imbalance was the debasement of their currency. Without sound money, those in power will increase the money supply and it will sap the middle classes wealth, causing an incresing imbalance. Rome systematically decreasd the precious metals weight in their coins, allowimg them to fund more conquest and sustain their power, while simultaneously sapping wealth. All the other issues talked about are accurate, but it is all underpinned on this economic princiole

Wow!.... So many parallels.....

"moral decay" Bro Romans themselves complained about "moral decadence" since the Roman Republic and the times of Augustus who passed many laws against "moral decay". It was just a cop out against the real problems.

Good video, I learned more about Rome through this than I did in college

The most straightforward theory for Western Rome's collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire's borders.

Starting my Roman Empire phase

It's not that. The reason is far more simpler: Rome became an empire by being the most advanced technological power as well as economical. As a republic, innovation by well educated people kept Rome ahead for ages mostly through great engineering and administration. Even when they would lose a battle, they would analyze the enemy and prepare to counter their tech. They also incorporated the Greek school and knowledge to them. But over the centuries, by becoming an empire, with less and less educated people in the government meant that all their advantage would crumble. Also, because of civil wars and strife, they never build up the new conquered provinces (after caesar) to be powerful and self sufficient, a cynical mistake that would lose them those territories.

Yeahhh I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately

Ok so I missed the part where it ended is there a part 2 or are we still living in the Roman empire

So basically... everything went wrong.

Anytime someone argues "this is what caused the Roman Empire to collapse," I think two things: you're probably not wrong, and you're probably not right either. I've heard arguments citing Rome's mediocre leadership, stopping its expansion, a less-than-loyal military, lead poisoning, poor morals, lack of national identity, too many different cultures to rule effectively, rebellions and incursions, and the list goes on and on. The Roman Empire was an amazing achievement, and its influence on the world cannot be overstated; however, it was doomed to fail as all great empires do. Pick your reason, I'll listen and agree with your thoughts. But there are so many other reasons out there and I doubt any government anywhere could begin to tackle all of the problems that arose towards the empire's end.

His solo reign saw less military conflict than that of Marcus Aurelius, but internal intrigues and conspiracies abounded, goading Commodus to an increasingly dictatorial style of leadership. This culminated in his creating a deific personality cult, including his performances as a gladiator in the Colosseum. Throughout his reign, Commodus entrusted the management of affairs to his palace chamberlain and praetorian prefects, namely Saoterus, Perennis and Cleander.

Ok, while the roman gods heavily resemble the Greek gods they were much less petty and often lacked their own distinctive personalities acting more like how a God "should" rather than alcoholic power mad dictators. For instance there were markedly less stories of Jupiter cheating on his wife than Zeuz did to Hera. Another one is Mars while he was the embodiment of the concept of war he was viewed in a much more favorable light than Aries who was feared more than respected almost always being painted as a bad-guy even by the greeks.
