Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed Emperor Romulus Augustulus. From then on, no Roman emperor would ever again rule from a post in Italy, leading many to cite 476 as the year the Western Empire suffered its deathblow

Answer:

The Western Roman Empire officially ended 4 September 476 CE, when Emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed by the Germanic King Odoacer (though some historians date the end as 480 CE with the death of Julius Nepos). Who defeated the Visigoths? In 711, an invading force of Arabs and Berbers defeated the Visigoths in the Battle of Guadalete.
