Question

Which of these factors led to the decline and eventual collapse of the Western Roman Empire? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The Roman Empire collapsed because of a few reasons. One reason is their Empire stretched across much of Europe, and their forces were too spread out to prevent an attack from any incoming country. Another reason, though this one could be faulty, is that they used lead pipes in many of their cities, and eventually many of their citizens and soldiers died from lead poisoning. Hope this helps! :)

1. Constantine was a weak ruler.

2. Inflation was causing economic problems.

3. People were less interested in serving in government or in the military.

4. Too many Roman citizens wanted to join the army.
