The Roman Empire was like a big, strong castle that suddenly started to crumble. It had many reasons, some people stopped fighting for it, others got sick or tired of living in the city, and there were even some really bad leaders who made things worse. So the castle fell down, and other groups took over different parts of it.
Examples
- A big castle with many strong walls starts to crack because people stop fixing it and start fighting among themselves.
- The emperor spends all his money on expensive clothes, leaving no food for hungry citizens.
- A group of invaders breaks through the city gates and takes over part of the empire.
