Why did the Western Roman Empire Collapse? - Explained in 20 Minutes

What had once been the greatest power on Earth now found itself crumbling… The Roman Empire had its heart weakened, its limbs restless, its moral strength and military prowess…Gone… and its enemies encircling like vultures over a corpse not yet cold.
Its ancient institutions, once the envy of the world, began to rot from within, hollowed by corruption and despair. At the frontiers… Roman legions fell. No longer feared as they once were, the defenders of Rome struggled to maintain the cohesion of what their great ancestors had conquered. Just as the crisis with the Goths seemed to wane, a new terror emerged… The end of the Roman Empire was just around the corner.
