blaming it all on the germanic people is, simplifying it a bit. in an expanded view, their migrations were more based on a domino effect from the asiatic plains, which, was almost the opposite of migration in that nomadic tribes were being forced out by the formation of non-nomadic groups, or at least that's a tiny tiny tldr. those nomads went west, time to shuffle all the geographical cards
(for more info, the book "war, what is it good for", really good read)
suffice to say, rome wasn't the only empire then, and things were unsettling themselves in all areas of the globe. and really, rome was, dying, then.
