The collapse of the Western Roman Empire is primarily attributed to attacks by Germanic tribes. While other factors, such as internal civil wars and economic troubles, also contributed to its decline, the relentless pressure and invasions from various Germanic groups (like the Visigoths, Vandals, and Ostrogoths) were significant in the eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
