The collapse of the western Roman empire was primarily due to attacks by Germanic tribes. These tribes invaded Roman territory and eventually overran the western provinces, leading to the fall of the western Roman empire in 476 AD. Other factors such as civil wars and political instability also played a role in the empire's collapse.
