As the Empire grew it became harder to govern and more vulnerable to attacks; invasions by Germanic tribes in the Western provinces contributed to the decline.

A schism that led to the existence of both Eastern and Western Emperors began in the later stages of the decline.

The Gothic War, meant to reunite the Empire, actually caused it a lot of damage.

The full acceptance of christianity by Constantine planted the seeds of intolerance that even flurished in the remnants of the dismembered Roman Empire. This intolerance led to great wars in Europe and eventually caused even such side-effects as Colonialism and perhaps even the Holocaust!
