The Roman Empire collapsed because of one huge reason
Yes, most major events happen because of 1 reason
Nooooo, often big events happen because of a variety of reasons

As talked about last month, and mentioned again yesterday, a reason Rome collapsed is

-The safe stations that the Romans had maintained for food, lodging and rest were no longer being maintained. Try traveling across Canada without anywhere safe to stop for fuel or food or rest or . . .
-The roman army no longer patrolled the roads, so now roaming barbarians and thieves preyed upon travellers. 

When Rome collapsed, what happened with the aqueducts that transported water
They were not maintained
They were vandalized
They were stripped for building materials.
