Many historians teach that the Western Roman Empire was doomed to fail, but they tend to forget the heroic emperor Majorian. This emperor almost managed to restore the Western Roman Empire in his too short 4 year reign from 457 to 461 AD. After the devastation caused by the huns, a massive civil war ensued that left the Western Empire in a dire state. In those times, Majorian rose to power, and immediately pushed out many laws and reforms, and started a military campaign with some of the last resources the empire could gather. In only a few years he restored the Empire from this to this. Unfortunately though, his plan to reconquer Africa from the Vandals was thwarted by traitors, his fleet burned, and so his plan failed. In the end he was betrayed again by his own general, the evil Magister Militum Ricimer, and killed in 461. And so the last hope of the Western Roman Empire had also ended.
