The most straightforward theory for Western Rome’s collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire’s borders. The Romans weathered a Germanic uprising in the late fourth century, but in 410 the Visigoth King Alaric successfully sacked the city of Rome.
Based on the text above, the author's point of view best supports the claim that:
Rome tangled with Germanic forces while being able to keep the Germanic tribes away from Rome's borders
The most immediate cause for the fall of Rome were the invasions of Germanic forces
In 410, the Romans weathered a Germanic uprising
Barbarian groups like the Goths attacked beyond Rome's borders, while causing minimal damage
Finally, in 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed the Emperor Romulus Augustulus. From then on, no Roman emperor would ever again rule from a post in Italy, leading many to cite 476 as the year the Western Empire suffered its deathblow.
The purpose of the text above is to describe:
The rise of power of the last Roman emperor in the year 476
The last year a Roman emperor gained power in Rome
The final fall of the Roman Empire in the year 476 as no Roman emperor held power again
