What Were the Primary Reasons for the ''Fall'' of Rome?

From about 50 BCE until the year 200 CE, the Roman Empire was the superpower of the Mediterranean world. During that time, the empire's wealth, territory, and international status grew and grew. But even as the empire prospered, it was slowly starting to fall apart. Some of its problems were internal—coming from within Rome itself—and others were external. This DBQ explores the factors that led to the eventual downfall of one of history's most powerful and influential empires.

Before writing, the class will go over the attached documents to help you and your peers better formulate your arguments as to why you think the Roman Empire fell.

Origins of Christianity

Despite Rome’s power and influence, many people in the empire opposed Roman rule. A Jewish spiritual leader named Jesus arose during the Pax Romana. He was executed by the Romans. A new religion soon emerged based on his teachings and the writings of his early followers.

The Roman Empire Begins

Rome began as small settlements along the Tiber River. Mediterranean Europe has mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Early farmers transformed southern Europe’s forests into wheat fields, olive orchards, and vineyards. Italy’s geography included mountains, rivers that supplied water and offered transportation routes, and plains that provided farmland. The early settlements joined together and became a city. The city’s soldiers conquered its neighbors, and in time Rome ruled all of Italy.
