Christianity itself was a psyop by Caesar intended to convert Jews into loyal Roman citizens that backfired horribly, when the Mad Saul of Tarsus spread it to the non-Jews.

Why is the Ottoman Empire not listed?
Retards don't understand the Roman Empire in the East?
Over expanding the empire
Degeneracy, decadence
Corrupt, disconnected ruling system
Letting the Germanics freely run wild in Roman territory
Broken Economy
Lack of good armies, armies consisting of foreign "foederati" barbarians instead of roman soldiers
Angry, dysfunctional population
There is no singular cause.

It wasn't any one thing, all of that stuff listed there contributed to the fall of Rome. I suppose you could say it was the fact all of this shit was happening all at once, during a long series of weak Emperors.
>>75678483
Christians corrupted it from within.
>>75678483
Romans got lazy with slave labor
>>75678483
>No option for shit Western Emperors
The Western Roman empire was fucked due to incompetency at the top and some bad luck. The Roman's just needed to successfully integrate the Goths/ whatever barbarians like they had been for centuries. They fucked this up waaaaaaay too much and it was all downhill.
>Cuckstianity
Can we kill this meme once and for all? If anything, Christianity bought the Romans a few more centuries. The Roman pagan pantheon was a fucking mess of old Greco-Roman gods and adopted foreign gods; Christianity got rid of that and acted as a uniting force.

>Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire was founded in 1299!
When Rome fell, there wasn't even Islam around yet!

I think you mean Constantine

>what caused the fall of the Roman Empire?
>all the answers are contributing factors except two
The answer is the government couldn't protect the people so it became obsolete in favor of localized military dictatorship in the form of feudal landholders
>>75678483
Lots of things - weak rulers, barbarians, late politics, civil wars, etc. There isn't a single reason.
