--------
The first predicted reason for the cause of the fall of Rome is when the military losses struggled to sustain and redeem themselves. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s groups like the Goths had invaded the Empire’s borders and took power over their military. The next reason fpr the fallout was Economic troubles and over-reliance on slave labor. Not only was Rome military in deep trouble and under attack from outside forces, it was also suffering from severe financial crisis. This is because the people were overspending their economics for war. This caused lightened imperial coffers, and the taxation and inflation had made the the gap bigger between rich and poor. In the hope of avoiding the taxman, many members of the wealthy classes had even fled to the countryside and went separate ways. In other terms, Rome’s economy depended on slaves to do their work as the military might had traditionally provided a fresh complexed system to put peoples to work. This lead to expansion in the second century, as Rome’s supply of slaves and other war treasures began to decrease. The overspending of the military made them create excellent road systems. However, the lack of communication between themselves made them unable to manage their holdings. They also struggled to marshal enough troops and resources to help build for their righteousness attacks. The fall of Rome was important because Rome was very powerful empire and lasted a long time, so the fall of Rome impacted many people.]]> 2018-12-07 18:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/francescaparodi/ullwbxlhao6o/wish/312362112 The Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans francescaparodi https://padlet.com/francescaparodi/ullwbxlhao6o/wish/312362614 1500 CE

These people in The Viking age ended when most European lands had strong central authorities , including trained, standing armies capable of mounting effective defenses against Viking attacks.  The problem was that the Vikings were not trained, not organized troops.
