00:00The strongest empire didn't fall overnight.
00:03The Roman Empire did not collapse in one dramatic event,
00:06but slowly weakened over centuries
00:08due to internal problems that became impossible to control.
00:13As Rome expanded across vast territories,
00:16managing such a massive empire became extremely difficult,
00:20especially with slow communication and corrupt local leadership.
00:24Emperors often came to power through violence rather than wisdom,
00:28leading to political instability and frequency of errors.
00:32Heavy taxation placed enormous pressure on ordinary citizens
00:36while wealthy elites avoided responsibility, creating deep inequality.
00:42The Roman army, once loyal and disciplined,
00:45increasingly relied on mercenaries who fought for money rather than loyalty to Rome,
00:51weakening military gear.
00:52Economic decline, corruption, and loss of public trust
00:56slowly destroyed the foundations of Roman society.
01:00When barbarian invasions finally reached Roman borders,
01:03the empire was already fragile and divided.
01:06These invasions did not destroy Rome, but exposed how weak it had become.
01:11The fall of the Roman Empire teaches an important lesson.
01:14Civilizations rarely collapse because of external enemies alone.
01:19They fall when corruption, inequality, and poor leadership slowly erode them from within.
