Detailed explanation-1: -In the end, the Huns were instrumental in bringing down the Roman Empire, but their contribution was almost accidental. They forced other Germanic and Persian tribes into Roman lands, undercut Rome’s tax base, and demanded expensive tribute. Then they were gone, leaving chaos in their wake.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 410 C.E., the Visigoths, led by Alaric, breached the walls of Rome and sacked the capital of the Roman Empire. The Visigoths looted, burned, and pillaged their way through the city, leaving a wake of destruction wherever they went. The plundering continued for three days.
Detailed explanation-3: -Political turmoil, cultural change, disease, and socioeconomic instability contributed to the unrest, as well as the invasion of Persian and Germanic peoples during the Migration Period (c. 375-568 CE, a time of widespread migration of and invasions by peoples within or into the Roman Empire).
