What Made the Roman Empire Collapse?

The Roman Empire was like a giant toy castle, and it fell apart piece by piece. At first, people thought the army was weak or that enemies attacked too much, but it turned out there were many smaller problems. Some leaders didn’t want to work together anymore, taxes got really high for regular people, and some parts of the empire had bad weather or not enough food.
