It became very easy for anyone around them to invade and take over land. These are all reasons the military effected the fall of Rome. The government also severely affected the fall of Rome. Lots
Besides the goths, there were many reasons western Rome fell, from crippling taxation, military failures to climate change and natural disaster. Government corruption and political instability were also major factors of the fall of western Rome. The goths attacked Rome when they were weak, while their army was weak, whilst the government was corrupted and Rome was focusing on itself and not on the threat of the goths. The Roman Empire is argued to have fell in 476 AD, due to the Eastern Empire still hadn’t fell until 476
People like the Huns were coming to Rome, and with them came diseases. The diseases were devastating, killing around 75% of Rome’s population (Doc F second source). The Huns were also feared by the Romans. Many thought of them as barbaric savages, who would slaughter them all, or pillage their homes (Doc D). These two factors combined led to the people losing even more support of the government, who were not protecting them.
Alani Zabala-Perez February 6, 2017 Black/Gold 3 Mrs.Wiglesworth Mongols: How Civilized Were The “Barbarians” Mongols weren’t fully barbaric, they had some rational rules and customs that still impact civilizations today. For example Mongols had a very organized military, they tolerated all religions, and encouraged trade. About 4,860,000 square miles of Asia was conquered by Genghis Khan from 1162 to 1227 (Document A). Europeans knew the Mongols as barbaric people because their customs approved in their culture. The Mongols were very civilized though.
Many people think of Rome as a great empire. Nevertheless, the Roman empire had more flaws than what one would think. Rome began around 750 BCE as a simple town. By 200 BCE, Rome was a powerful empire. The empire lasted for about 1,226 years before its “fall” in 476 CE.
They were overthrown by the Germanic leader who goes by the name of Odoacer, who was the first Barbarian to rule in Rome. the Roman Empire had brought order to the western Europe. Some people even say that Roman empire didn’t even fall in 476 or begin when it did or happen when it did. They believe that because
The Roman Empire has been well known for its religious believes, mostly being Christianity; however, there in one particular cult name Isis that spread within the Empire through the years. Cults are a small group of people that have religious beliefs toward a particular person or thing. The cults were often based on sacred stories that involve rituals and promise a better afterlife. These cults were called mysterious due to the involvement of secret ceremonies. The mysterious Isis cult had a strong impact in the Roman Empire and all over the Mediterranean.
While Burgess and Perkins focus on the declining economic output of Rome based on pottery and coinage, the sources do not mention possible ideological shifts towards a culture that favored towards temporary structures and abandoning the economic complexities Roman civilization featured. Similarly, “the disappearance of comfort” that Perkins and Burgess relate to the economic complexity and sophistication of the empire cannot necessarily be attributed to a decline of literacy or the “chief benefits of society” since this step backward may have been a response to the rise of corruption that plagued the later Roman empire given that influential Romans exploited the economic complexities to their advantage. This leads to the argument that the grants of land Rome gave to the barbarians and the effects of Roman corruption forced a mistrust between both barbarian and Roman an issue Perkins and Burgess overlook. Rome’s policy of assimilation was mutually beneficial; Romans needed manpower for the military and agricultural production and there was a strong push towards assimilation that turned foreigners into citizens, while barbarians needed refuge from the Huns and fertile land. However, in the prelude to the Gothic revolt, military officials who were responsible for the welfare of the Goths were corrupt and made the Goths pay for supplies that the emperor had intended to give them for free.
Twin Experiments Over 3,000 twins at the concentration camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, were forced against their will to become subjects for medical experiments during the Holocaust. Twin experiments played an important part in the Holocaust. Twins at Auschwitz were mostly Jewish children, who were tortured, injected with diseases, and exposed, all in the hopes of finding a way to mass produce one dominant race using genetics. Adolf Hitler and Josef Mengele started this experiment to help create Hitler’s master race of pure Germans.
They rebelled and destroyed the roman
There can be no understating how immense of an impact the collapse of the Roman empire had on Europe, and those who lived in its territories. These Roman citizens witnessed the slow chipping of their empire as those whom they deemed barbarians sacked their cities, and conquered their land, until western Europe was Roman no more. These people were also no longer Roman citizens either, after being conquered they began to identify as separate states, or tribes, breaking the collective of an empire under the same government. This was the reality of the western half of the empire, but the Eastern part of the empire was different. Consequently, The Eastern part of the Roman empire and its capital, Constantinople remained intact, developing themselves
The results of the Roman Empires Fall were that the Empire was completely destroyed and many new Empires were born. The Franks conquered most of the western empire after the fall of Rome. All Empires come to an end the Roman Empire was a stepping stone for many Empires that
The development of ancient Rome can be attributed to many factors, from overcoming military opposition to dealing with religious conflicts. However, the effects of the Hun army was very substantial in the third and fourth century, but remains quite vague in most historic texts. Even so, the Huns were a powerful and mysterious force that instilled fear whenever encountered and although historians did not chose to record much of it, their savagery caused a massive amount of people to flee their homeland in search of a safe haven within the Roman Empire. Their military strategy, equine mastery, and unique weaponry made them superior to nearly every adversary, making them fairly unstoppable. The reputation of Attila the Hun rivaled any barbarian that Rome had yet to encounter.
UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE HIST 1421GREEK AND ROMAN CIVILIZATION Learning Journal Task Unit 6 Explain the negative effects of the Roman conquests. As we have learned from the reading for unit 5 that the chief effects of the conquest was to transform Rome from the greatest conquering people of the world , to the greatest governing people of the world (Morey, 1901), this sounds both positive and negative an the same time.
Living in such an enormous empire had its benefits. As a Roman, you had education, culture and the protection of the largest military empire on your side. Living in this Empire also had some notable drawbacks. The empire had extreme poverty rates, threats of being in a constant state of war, and the government could impose huge tax burdens on the people.
