Why did the Roman Empire fall, /pol/?
>>
Roman males got soft, women controlled everything and there was an invasion of barbarians into Roman territory (the Roman men would rather flee than defend their home)
>>

Christianity destroyed the culture, and unsustainable welfare destroyed the economy.

Hmm...
>>
Believing in God instead of based JUPITER
>>
>>68081563
Because eventually they let a racist, xenophobic, dictator run the empire
>>
Nobles screwed over the common soldier, so the common soldier stopped serving. Basically sacrificing everything then coming home to cuck babies and no livelihood.

Western Europe reformed as Catholic kingdoms instead of just calling itself the Roman empire.
>>
>>68081563

They introduced policy that locked people to their land, this meant that smaller land owners would be outcompeted by larger ones, and ultimately had to be bought out.

As the landlords grew in power, they started waging civil wars against the empire and each other for more power.

This along with decadence and corruption ultimately lead to the empire becoming so weak that is was invaded by germanic tribes.

Overextending itself which caused resistance from without, increased the concentration of power and decadence of the ruling class who mainly focused on extending their own power and wealth which caused resistance from within.

The same reason why leaves fall during Autumn. It's in every Empire/Kingdom/Nation's nature to eventually fall. If they didn't, that would be proof God didn't exist. But since he is the greatest, he will always remind his creation of that by destroying what Earthly thing they, at the time, think is great.

It's a subtle reminder. You either take notice of it, or you lose yourself in the politics of it, bickering amongst yourselves trying to come up with an answer that literally changes nothing.

If the Roman empire was still xenophobic, they wouldn't have tolerated the barbarian migrants. The migrants were just part of the reasons why Rome fell.
