This was forwarded to me by my mother. I think it gives a pretty good summation of the foreign affairs aspects.

"The Western Roman Empire was in ruins and the Eastern Empire was based in Constantinople and trying desperately to keep the power of its early grandeur while transitioning to Christianity as a de facto state religion"

So the fall of the Roman Empire was not due to morality decay, like so many here like to believe, but was due to their transitioning to Christianity.

Well how bout that.
