b.

c.

2. What are 4 causes of the fall of Rome?

a. The Empire became too large to manage effectively. At its height, the empire
consisted of all of Europe, parts of the Middle East, and parts of North Africa.

1. Barbarians saw the advantages of the Empire. They invaded not to destroy the Empire but to take advantage of it. But in some cases they literally destroyed Rome. At any rate, the barbarians overtook much of the empire and changed its values and power structure. Centralized authority in Rome lost out.

2. Small landowners gave way to the latifundia, or big estates. The cites were flooded by people with no roots and no stable means of support; such people had to be fed and appeased.

3. Mistreatment of the Christians let to an increase of Christianity, so that the Christians eventually triumphed over the prevaiing Roman religion. The Christian ethos replaced the Roman one. Christian values are not Roman values. A new order had arrived.

4. The Empire was simply too large and cumbersome to control by a single central state; distant populations were always wanting to rebel. The cost of keeping such a sprawling Empire under control was prohibitive.
