fall of rome

The fall of Rome is when the powerful Roman Empire fell apart and stopped existing. Rome was one of the most powerful countries in the world at the time, with a strong army and a lot of wealth. However, it became too big and the government couldn't manage it, so it soon started to break apart. People stopped following rules and laws, and chaos ensued. Eventually, invasions by barbarians and other countries caused the collapse of the empire.
