The Fall of the Roman Empire
For almost four hundred years, the Roman Empire ruled the lands of the Mediterranean and Europe.
The territories of England, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco were previously under the rule of the Roman Empire.
The decline of the Roman Empire began from the West.
In the period from 400 to 430 AD, numerous barbarian tribes invaded the borders of the Empire and stopped in France, North Africa and Spain.
They were gradually leaving the power of the Romans.
The western parts of the empire, such as Italy, France, Spain and North Africa, became independent from the Romans by 500.
These lands were ruled by the German kings.
The reasons for the fall of the Western Roman Empire include the lack of a combat ready army, weak leadership of the troops, the reluctance of large landowners to give workers to the army, the decline in the authority of the imperial power.
The growing population increased the costs of making joint decisions and the incentive for any individual to evade his appointment.
The Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into two halves in 286 AD.
Despite the fact that the western part "fell", the eastern part of the Empire remained strong for a long time.
The center of the Empire was located in the city of Byzantium, which was later renamed Constantinople, and even later Istanbul.
For several millennia, the city was considered the main city of the world and the capital of the Roman Empire in the East.
In 1453, the Roman Empire ceased to exist.
The Turks captured the capital of the Empire.
The Roman Empire existed for two centuries.
It has made a considerable contribution to the development of civilization.
He made a significant contribution to the development of Greek literature and science.
