Document Summary

Dbq #2: fall of the western roman empire. The franks, vandals, and the visigoths marched through. Rome, watching as their tribes burned down buildings and towns. Not only had the barbarians crumbled the proud cities and hard accomplishments of the advanced romans, those vulgar outsiders had somehow managed to crush and grind the roman civilization into powder! However, the enemies of rome did not deserve all recognition in causing rome to fall. They were more of the plunderers, claiming rights to the destruction of rome in which they had only pulled the last straw. Rome had countless problems even before the outsiders came through with their onslaught. The fall of the western roman empire was not as much of a fall as a gradual decline. It is a misconception that the end of the empire came abruptly. The so-called fall was a measured, steady pace of deterioration from the inside out over an estimate of a hundred years.
