ummarize the causes of the fall of the Roman Empire. Do you think it was inevitable? Why/not?

There were six main reasons for the decline of Rome. These were, the geography, it was hard to defend the weak wester borders because it took a long time to get there. Another reason was, economic decline, everything was becoming more expensive, and not as accessible. Also, the growth in government was bad because everyone was trying to get more power, more money and often they would use the power they had to become rich, or started civil wars. Next, was the decline in work force, meaning that there were not as many slaves as before and many romans couldnt do the work themselves. Lack of technology was also a problem because farmers did not have enough of it to grow enough food for all of Rome. Finally, military defeat was the last straw; the Romans could no longer defeat the barbarians.
