The causes of destruction multiplied with the extent of conquest
- Rome- as time went on, destruction of their cities grew
- U.S.- As time goes on, and we attack foreign nations, our vulnerability to attack increases (9/11, Pearl Harbor etc.
The destruction of Roman military power can be traced back to the fall of its government
- Rome- the government was the military's sole supporter and leader, without it, it cannot function
- U.S.- If we function the same way as Rome once did (we do), we will also face a problem in which we have no military. This problem is a looming threat as our government is filled with what many would say corrupt individuals instead of a peaceful and effective team
Rome's political system was in a downfall
- Rome- Their system of one ruler was abolished, reinstated, and abolished once more. Their political power system caused the corruption of several individuals and 2 civil wars. Their inability to solve this issue led to the governments demise and as a result, the empires
- U.S.- Though we do not question our nations political power system, our government does have its fair share of faults.Like Rome, we find many corrupt individuals who are power hungry and individuals who think for themselves, instead of for the people, and what will benefit them. Our politicians could be the sole reason for our governments downfall, most likely by American citizen upheaval
Attacks by Attila the Hun
- Rome- This only weakened its nation and drew citizens away from their patriotism for their country
- U.S.- Wars are seemingly constantly fought outside of our country, and as we see, nations are weakened severely because of it. With our already doomed political system, we could face the same fate the Romans once did if we were to get attacked and/or invaded
