end of the Roman Empire??

Question

Can anyone tell me Political, Economic and Social changes at the end of the Roman Empire?

Thanks A lot =))

Answer 1

A new reading of sources plus archeological finds indicates that the Roman Empire was a perfectly healthy, viable state in AD 376. Taxation and budgeting, mostly for the army, were strained since the 200's, when a renewed Persian kingdom required an increase of 1/4 to1/3 in the army. When Goths crossed the Danube in 376, the emperor was busy with a Persian war in the East and had to let them pass in. One by one, barbarian nations occupied revenue-producing regions of the western empire, until the west could no longer support an army to defeat them. Meanwhile, for centuries before 376, the barbarians had been growing in political sophistication, until they could organize under powerful centralized kings.

In short, a densely interlinked argument about why the western empire passed away almost suddenly, 376-476, while the eastern empire survived another 1000 years.

Answer 2

Everyone will deny this but history shows that they converted to christianity. What a coincidence! The internal strife then brought on the other problems.

Answer 3

Look it up in your history book -- there is way too much going on there for this little box lol
