Answer:

The German chieftain Odoacer deposed the last Roman emperor of the West, Romulus Augustulus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fall of Rome was completed in 476, when the German chieftain Odoacer deposed the last Roman emperor of the West, Romulus Augustulus. The East, always richer and stronger, continued as the Byzantine Empire through the European Middle Ages.
