WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many factors caused the culmination of the Middle Ages. Some notable ones included the failure of the feudal system and the loss of the Church’s influence over the nation-states. Some see the voyages of Columbus as the end of the Middle Ages, while others tout the overthrow of Constantinople as such.

Detailed explanation-3: -Imperial Rome (31 BC – AD 476) In AD 286 the Roman Empire was split into eastern and western empires, each ruled by its own emperor. The western empire suffered several Gothic invasions and, in AD 455, was sacked by Vandals. Rome continued to decline after that until AD 476 when the western Roman Empire came to an end.

Detailed explanation-4: -The collapse of Rome in the late fifth century ushered in a roughly 1, 000-year period (500 C.E.–1450 C.E.) known as the Middle Ages. This time is also known as the medieval period, from the Latin words medium (middle) and aevum (age). The early part of the Middle Ages is often referred to as the Dark Ages.
