First, he underestimated the Parthian warrior. Then, he came to fear them.

His guides were double agents and guided him right into a trap IIRC
Also he was a stupid faggot who wanted a quick victory above everything, the whole campaign was ill-planned because he wanted to get through it as quick as possible and return to Rome for a triumph

Crassus lived about 1500 years before the Empire fell. I'm not sure his failure with the Parthians had anything to do with it. Heck, he lived 50 years before it was even founded.
Though it is interesting to think that maybe if Rome had conquered Parthia at an earlier stage they could've dealt with the Arabs better.
