>a single thing causing something to collapse

It was one of many factors, yes. But even that wouldn't have brought the empire down as long as the economy remained intact. Unfortunately when the western empire lost Africa it was game over.

what made africa so important

hyperinflation

>pz economic brainlets, keep larping as Veeky Forumstorians

no black warriors to fight for rome, only germans
but where the fuck were meds then

It's where they got most of their food from

Food and trade
Without carthage how was italy suppossed to get grain from egypt?

Welp, WRE still had ships after losing Carthage to the Vandals, didn't they?

>hyperinflation
Stop misusing the term, It's not hyper if it takes hundreds of years.

relative to the period it was hyper.

What do you mean "relative to the period"? There were no other monetary systems at the time to be relative to.

Yeah, but Egypt was already relegated to supplying Constantinople. Carthage continued to supply Rome, but they had to pay what the Vandals wanted for the food.

Plus Carthage itself was important. It was the most lucrative part of WRE because Italy payed fuck all in taxes.

you're fucking retarded, silver is worth more then other metals
litearlly kill yourself
gtfo my board

I know, but thought that Rome was getting their food from Egypt via Carthage. I wanted to ridicule his statement

>China pushes Xiongnu/Hun
>Xiongnu migrate west
>Xiongnu migration push out native nomadic tribes toward Roman empire
>Huns take control of the remaining nomads of the Europe and re-create their old empire
>Destroys Roman empire

Maybe not Rome itself, but turns out other people need food too! and Carthage was an important port.

Huns were originally from Hungary with no relation to the mongolians the Chinese fought.

Because after Italy it was by far the most developed part of the Western half of the empire. Brittania was a shithole that was constantly being harassed by Picts. Gaul and Hispania were a relatively less shitty shitholes that were constantly filled with dissidents and civil war. Combine that with the Germanic tribes and Huns coming from the North, and the majority of the European part of the Western empire nonstop hell that is more trouble than its worth. Without the backbone of North Africa, it was essentially Italia versus every other province.

Are huns celtic or illyrian?

>huns are hungary because HUN in HUNgary
k e k

okay then what made north africa fall?
did romans have no fleet to kill vandals with?

>Provinces need food too
Right, hence local production. Not all food came from Carthage, only grain
>Important port
Yes, for trading, not for transporting egyptian grain

...

M*ds are weak creatures. They always need superior nordic men to fight in their armies or wars.

>Huns were originally from Hungary
>the "mongolians" the Chinese fought.

Actually the Vandals took the Roman fleet when they conquered Carthage.
The Roman Empire tried to seize Africa once more decades later, but it was already too late.

Educate yourself retard. Xiongnu/Huns are same group of people. Like the mongols/xiongnu, the huns are "confederate" of multi-ethnic group with the mongolian-types at the leadership.
