The invading army reached the outskirts of Rome, which had been left totally undefended. In 410 C.E., the Visigoths, led by Alaric, breached the walls of Rome and sacked the capital of the Roman Empire.
The Visigoths looted, burned, and pillaged their way through the city, leaving a wake of destruction wherever they went. The plundering continued for three days. For the first time in nearly a millennium, the city of Rome was in the hands of someone other than the Romans. This was the first time that the city of Rome was sacked, but by no means the last.

Explanation:
The Western Roman empire with it's capital at Rome came to an end due to the continuous invasion of the Germanic tribes. The territories of the Roman empire were captured by different nomadic tribes. The most prominent among them was the Franks. The empire established by the Franks was the Frankish empire.

The Eastern Roman empire with it's capital at Constantinople began to decline after Justinian. It collapsed with the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in the fifteenth century.
