d. By weakening the military with barbarian invasions
External pressures, particularly from barbarian invasions, greatly weakened the Roman military, contributed to the empire's instability, and hastened its decline. The constant threat and actual incursions from various groups put immense strain on Rome's resources and defense capabilities.
