Meiscool I think is right. There were germanic barbarians who took down some Roman walls is I remember correctly. Left not a one standing.

Yep, they used elephants to do it. Atillia the hun finally won with the help of several German Companies, including but not limited to the Goths and the Huns.

Rome's defeat was far more complicated than the German invasion, and there was no just one power that beat them.

1- Territory: The territory became harder and harder to control, and so the borderds where difficult to control (For example, Adriano's Wall at Britania, or the east of Galia that was under constant attack of the Germans). Like this, the Roman Empire divided it self in two: The Roman Empire at the West (Which is the Roman Empire that we all know of, the one located in Rome and stuff) and the Eastern Roman Empire (At Constantinopla... can't recall how to spell "bizantino"right now, it's hard to translate, y'know!). The one that you guys are talking about is the West Roman Empire.

2- Economy: As the territory became harder to control, the economy went outta hand too. Since no more conquests where achieved, there was no more profit, and the economy begun to decline.

3- The Tactics: The great mistake of Rome was also to not make the tactics advance in time. They became obsolet, and the enemies begun to know how to face them.

4- The Invaders: The Germans where the last to invade Rome. There were several rebellions against the Empire, which little by little begun to loose power. But the harshest invasion was made by the huns. Since they crushed all of Rome's power at Gemany, Galia and other countries at center and eastern Europe, they put Rome in a hard position to defend itself against any attack. So they where left to be given the "finishing touch".

That is a little summary of what really happened at Rome, maybe I'm missing some points, but that's about it.

no ****? There's always more reason to losing then a simple invasion. And I do believe I mentioned 3 powers, not "no one power"

[Drighton]

I concede that I might be wrong about Rome.

Look Ma! I changed the durn topic!
