Answer 1

Here are eight common causes classified into internal vs external factors that led to the decline of the Roman Empire:

Internal factors
1. Political instability and civil wars (frequent changes of emperors, power struggles)
2. Economic troubles (heavy taxation, inflation, reliance on slave labor)
3. Military problems and reliance on mercenaries (recruitment shortfalls, weakened discipline)
4. Overexpansion and administrative division of the empire (logistical strain and a weakened central authority)

External factors
1. Barbarian invasions (Visigoths, Vandals, Ostrogoths sacking/settling in Roman lands)
2. Germanic migrations into Roman territory (mass movements of peoples)
3. Pressure from the Huns (pushed other tribes westward into Roman borders)
4. Attacks from eastern rivals (Sassanid Persian conflicts on the eastern frontier)
