Imagine a big, powerful castle, the Roman Empire. It was strong for a long time, but one day it started to weaken. There were too many people fighting for power, money ran out, and enemies from far away kept attacking. Bit by bit, the empire got smaller and weaker until it finally fell apart.
Examples
- A soldier who had been promised a reward for his service was given a bag of coins that were barely worth anything.
- The Visigoths, a group of warriors, marched into the heart of Rome and took it over.
