So in this episode we are going to analyze these seven main theories.
Something as complex, such a great event as the fall of the Roman Empire does not have a single reason, it has different reasons and here we are going to explain the seven main ones and thus understand in truth all the variables, all the events that led to the fall of this empire. The first theory by which it is believed that Rome fell is the invasion of barbaric peoples in the same empire. This is perhaps the simplest and most disputed theory about the collapse of Rome. We know that Rome was a military power that was involved in many wars and battles, but they had suffered different military losses with Germanic tribes for the last centuries. At this point we are in the year 300. after Christ, and barbaric groups such as the Goths, who came from today's Sweden, had already been able to invade the borders of the empire.
So the Romans tightened the screws against these foreign enemies within the Roman Empire. There are reports of Roman officials who forced these Goths, when they were hungry, to sell their children as slaves in exchange for dog meat. This type of act, by brutalizing them in this way, the Romans created a very dangerous enemy that, unlike other enemies, was already within the border. When this oppression became unbearable, the Goths rebelled and finally defeated a Roman army, killing the valiant eastern emperor during the Battle of Adelanopolis. And when you hear oriental, it is because the Roman Empire was divided into two. There were two empires, the western and the eastern. We will return to that point shortly.
So the barbarians begin to gain ground and eventually in the year 410, King Godo, Flavius Alaricus I, moved to the west and looted Rome. Now, the looting of Rome, which is a very significant event in the history of this empire, It was not a battle in the sense that there was a military goal, there was a political goal, which was that these peoples, these invaders, wanted to negotiate with Rome for lands, they wanted a legal settlement, and they caused all this chaos in the capital, to the point of achieving this goal, which they do not achieve until the year 418 AD, eight years after the looting, but the damage was already done. Because what these Germanic peoples achieved with this looting, with these battles, was not to eliminate the empire,
It was to eliminate the trust that both the people and the political elites had in the empire.
