The Fall of Rome: A Slow Decline into Darkness

Description

Script Vidéo

“Rome didn’t collapse in a day… it died slowly over 76 years.” At its peak, the Roman Empire ruled from Britain to Egypt. Millions feared it. Nations obeyed it. Rome looked unstoppable. Then everything changed. In 410 AD, the unthinkable happened: Rome itself was invaded and looted by the Visigoths. The empire that conquered the world could no longer protect its own capital. Inside the empire, corruption spread. Emperors fought for power. The legendary Roman army weakened. And while Western Rome collapsed, the Eastern Empire — Byzantium — kept Roman culture alive for another thousand years. Then came the final blow. In 476 AD, the last Roman emperor was overthrown by a Germanic king named Odoacer. The Western Roman Empire was dead. What followed was chaos. Cities crumbled. Knowledge disappeared. Europe entered the Dark Ages. But from Rome’s ashes, new kingdoms rose… and the foundations of modern Europe were born. Rome fell centuries ago. But its influence never did.
