Patience and Concept of Legislation: What's the situation that may produce an empire socially and politically incorporated and ergo prosper for quite a while? It's difficult to solution easily with this question. That report considers the guide “Time of Empire” published by Amy Chua four years before which presented a solution with this question. The primary dissertation of “Time of Empire” is that each world-dominant empire was by the criteria of their time, extremely pluralistic and resistant all through their increase to preeminence for each of their great differences. Based on Amy Chua, “certainly, in most event patience was essential to the achievement of international hegemony and the decrease of super energy has over and over coincided
In what ways did these empires differ from one another? What accounts for those differences?
After researching these, I deemed the most successful Empire to be the one in which created the most widely used things throughout the entire world, and that are still in use today. Also, I determined the most important determining factor of an Empire being successful was if it had an acceptable democratic and equal societal philosophy. Thus, I found all these successful
What were the main goals of the Benevolent Empire? To what extent were they achieved?
Over the last three centuries, Rome and the Han Dynasty were successful in their expansion throughout their respected parts of the world. Although both ran a very similar government, both successful civilizations did so using different methods. The Han would govern using imperial rule in addition to the Analects of Confucianism to run their political ideology. The Han Dynasty would eventually even change the text of the Analects per how they ruled through the original tablets. The Roman Empire would also use their religion of the Imperial Cult, worshipping past emperors and their families. Using several legislative branches and a senate, Rome would move on to become one of the most powerful civilizations in the world at the time. Although
The Han Dynasty and the Roman Empire were two grand empires that rose out of preexisting territories and provided relative peace over wide areas. The collapse of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE), which was the first great land-based empire in East Asia, came after a period of war, confusion, and tyrannical rule. Due to the political disorder that stemmed from the early dynastic activity, the emergence of the Han Dynasty (206 BCE- 228 CE) sprung to focus on restoring order. On the other hand, the rise of the Roman Empire (44 BCE- 476 CE) originated from consolidating authority over aristocratic landlords and overriding the democratic elements of the earlier Republic. Instead, the Roman Empire redefined the concept of “citizen” as subjects to
The Roman Empire and Han Dynasty in China are two kingdoms that, despite the geographical difference between them, managed to achieve great success and failure in equal measure. Both were characterized by imperial dynasties that were headed by the emperors and they held large territories. Both of these kingdoms faced various challenges after their formation that became a major stabling block, but due to good leadership, they both managed to overcome and achieve success. Nevertheless, due to different reasons, both the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty declined and fell. This paper

Throughout time empires have risen and fallen and taken various approaches in doing so. Some of these society were warlike, while others focused on intellectual discovery. Among these various societies were great empires like the Ottoman, the Mughal, the Spanish, and the Ming. All four of these great empire ruled at overlapping times but all eventually fell for different reasons. All had strengths and weakness and can be used as a learning opportunity for an empire that came after them. From the Ming and the Ottoman you can learn strength such as religious tolerance and government structure. On the other hand, the Mughal and the Spanish teach us the dangers of over taxing and over centralizing government. In order for an empire to successfully function they must have an accepting culture, a balanced economy, and manageable size.
Empires have shaped world history in both good and bad ways. From changing regional and global power dynamics to diffusing goods, ideas, animals, vegetation, people, and even illnesses, empires have cultivated peace and instigated war (Spiegel 2012). Groups of people have been decimated while others flourished (Spiegel 2012). Before imperialism, empires did exist (i.e. Aztecs, Incas, etc) but were separated by geographical barriers, such as deserts, oceans, mountains, etc. It was with the invention of the sextant that allowed European
Between approximately 509 BCE and the third century CE the Roman empire continually expanded and became one of the largest in history. While this expansion was due to many reasons, not the least of which was greed, to a great extent it was made possible because of Rome's overwhelming military and its combination of a democratic and republic government.

Throughout history many civilizations have risen and fallen without so much of a second thought from historians. However there have been civilizations that climbed to the top of the metaphorical food chain and stayed there and influenced not only their region but the world for countless millennium even after they were no longer a functioning empire. Two such empires were the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire. The first factor to consider when thinking of successful empires would be geographical location. The second factor would have to be the leadership, and the third would have to be the method in which the empire expands. All of these factors are what makes a small civilization with great potential a formidable empire that lasts longer than a lifetime.
The legislation of the Roman empire was one of the biggest reason it survived for so long. Legislature is key to every military society because an empire can conquer many lands but if the empire does not know how to govern their own people, how would the be able to govern the people they just conquered. The Roman used a system of government that is mostly compared to a republic which means a state in
Chau’s thesis that the rise and fall of empires was due to tolerance, inclusion, difference, and diversity is shown to be true of the Roman Empire because of the way that tolerance allowed and caused the empire to rise, enter its golden age, and fall. The Roman Empire was a “hyperpower” that lasted from 44 BCE to 476 CE. The empire contained Western, Southern, and Eastern Europe, along with North Africa; thus, there was an abundance of culture from many different conquered groups. Romans wanted to make these conquered nations provinces of Rome. The Roman Empire began (and the Roman Republic ended) with the assassination of Julius Caesar, who wanted to be a dictator. No longer a republic, the lands already ruled by Rome became part of an empire. The government became centralized with a single ruler, the emperor. However, even before the empire, during the Republic, there was also the similar feeling of wanting to conquer other nations was there.
As the series Game of Thrones starts a new season, illustrating a bloody scenario of Kings and Queens contesting for total control of lands and supremacy, we may be reminded that such a fiction was a reality in past history– minus the dragons and the walking dead of course. As history progresses in time, empires rise and fall. Historians look back on once strong empires and are divided, concerning if the damage they caused and slaughter they wrought was worth the advances they gave to the world. When comparing once powerful empires like the British and Roman Empire, one clearly rises above all in terms of all-out strength and domination, but the way they become powerful is similar. Governments that hold true power seem to be reflected on the most. Both the British and Roman Empire reigned with significant authority and yielded to defeat or declinism; however, the Roman Empire stands superior not only for its lengthy rule, but for its everlasting influence over others, and its expansion of citizenship.
The era dominated by Roman empire is one the most well-known and influential periods of history, home to famous names from Julius Caesar to Jesus Christ. At its height, Rome’s territory stretched from the Atlantic coastline to the Middle East, reigning over 60 million people, one-fifth of the population of the ancient world. However, the Roman empire’s treatment of their conquered people’s and their own citizens ultimately led to the permanent downfall of Rome.
