The Roman Empire fell Because of it size so armies couldn’t travel the whole of the empire in a short time which allowed barbarians to attack and raid the empire the Roman Empire declines because of a series of bad rulers hope this helps have a nice day (:

Answer: Invasions by Barbarian tribes

Explanation: 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.
