Explanation:

The barbarian tribes that frightened The Roman Empire were the Franks, Vandals, Saxons, and Visigoths. These tribes would destroy towns by stealing from religious sights and the townspeople. They would sometimes burn down houses or the religious places, such as churches.

The Roman Empire economic troubles were inflation, decrease in trade and unemployment. There was a drop in value of money and raise in prices. Raiders would also destroy trading ships.

Feudalism was the politico-economic system of relationships between lords and feudatories. Everything that the lower classed worked for, was given to their lord. However, once the spread of disease overcame the empire, many of the serfs (slaves in the lowest class, otherwise known as untouchables,) were beginning to die drastically. As this was happening, the feudalism system began to collapse. Lords couldn't farm without their slaves doing it for them.

It was very expensive to be expanded the way the Roman Empire was. They stretched from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Euphrates river. It was hard to keep everything in order with the declining profit from trade and employment.

Military spending was an obsession, and this caused a major decline in the economy. Thus, causing the perpetual drain of the empires economy.
