To simplify all of it I'd say the reason that it fell was that not enough people thought well enough of it in order to defend it.
If you don't take care of something, it will go away. Nobody was taking care of the Empire. Those entrusted with this task simply didn't care about anything but their own interests and so there was nobody to defend the interests of the Empire.
This isn't to say that the Empire was worth saving. Perhaps that is why nobody wanted to save it. It just wasn't worth it anymore.
There is a lesson in this somewhere. Maybe somebody will get it, but who knows?
