Except for Rome... that is absolute NONSENSE! Classic Western Europe was not effected in any measurable way by the fall of Rome. Effectively speaking NOTHING changed... until the middle to the end of the 7th Century.
What do you mean, nothing was changed? The place collapsed into nearly constant warfare, Germanic and Viking invaders ruined central government.
To give you an example, during the Gothic War between Byzantium and the Ostrogoths, Rome's population dropped from nearly a million people, to less than 40,000.
