Rhonda The Fall Of Rome

The fall of Rome was caused by many reasons building up overtime but the main ones were the political corruption and all the land they

The primary reasons Rome “fell” were the government had a poor system, the military had problems, and Rome misunderstood the outsiders. Rome “fell” because they had poor government. First of all, Rome had good rules but no one followed them. For example “Many people were exempt from the military draft”(Doc B). This was a problem because it was unfair to the people who aren’t part of the group who were exempt.

In document two, it states that “a large portion of public and private wealth was consecrated to the demands of charity and devotion.” This suggests that money that could have gone to the state went to the church instead. However, the connection between the fall of the entire Roman empire due to a small amount of money going to charity seems very inaccurate, especially since the goal of charity is just to help those that are in need and help them get back on their feet. Because this is, and was the main objective of charity, it motivates many to believe that the argument that Christianity’s rise brought Rome down seems far off. For it is evident that money was used for purposes that would actually help

Doc 7 states,” Meanwhile, popes and other church leaders took an increased role in political affairs, further complicating the government.” This shows that Christianity complicated the government by having church leaders take participation in the government. In summary, Christianity weakened the Roman army, complicated the Roman government, and helped cause the fall of

Did you know that Christianity became the official religion of Rome in 380 BC? But, christianity didn’t really work out in Rome, and is one of the main problems that caused the fall of Rome. Also, Rome grew so much that it was almost impossible to control anymore. To conclude Christianity and the growth of the Roman Empire were the main causes of the fall of Rome. Christianity was one of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire.

In document 1 it shows the 50 years Rome has 19 main leaders (23 with the co-leaders included), and most of the rulers got assassinated or killed in battle. This shows that Rome's rulers made Rome’s leadership unstable. In Document 10 it states “Christianity displaced the polytheistic Roman religion, which viewed the emperor as having a divine status.” Document 10 also states “popes and other church leaders took an increased role in political affairs further complicating governance.” I believe that the Roman government let the Roman beliefs slip away with the leaders and beliefs with

Though Rome made plenty of mistakes, it also influenced how people live today. For example, monumental construction, encouraging religion, extraordinary language, and even a strong government. Even though it was a troubling time, if Rome didn't fall we would probably make the same mistakes that caused them to fall. In 476 CE the Ancient Empire collapsed, but there wasn’t only one cause. There were multiple reasons to why Ancient Rome fell, from population, to military and politics. One important reason that led to the fall of Ancient Rome was the steady decline in population. A compelling piece of evidence to support this is the constant warfare, and plagues that were occurring during the time. Another reason to support this, is that Romans

Rome also fell because of Christianity. Christianity became the state religion in 380. It taught pacifism, which discouraged Romans from joining the army and encouraging Rome to rely on foreign soldiers. According to Doc 7 “ Popes and other church leaders took an increased role in political affairs.” So with more Romans being popes and church leaders, less were being soldiers.

From 200 CE to 476 CE the fall of Rome began, and ended. Rome began in Italy surrounded by the mediterranean sea and expanded over time. They took over great parts of Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Rome experienced a great time of prosperity filled with different cultures and (known as the golden age), and eventually, due to all of the flaws and problems, fell. I believed that the reason it fell was due to many external, and internal factors. Some of the internal factors that lead to the fall of Rome were; loss/less labor and war-like difficulties. While the some of the external factors where great things out of their control, such as plagues and getting attacked.

Appearance has descended to be an aspect of determination among people’s potential. In the novel The Fall of Rome by Martha Southgate the author develops characters such as Jerome, Rashid, and Jana who have a different perspective towards the society they live in. The influences of a life based on the roman civilization from the point of view of Jerome, builds a connection among Rashid from his early life experiences and the differences prove confliction on social issue, controversy, and injustice.

In the dialogue between Bryan Ward-Perkins and Peter Heather “The Fall of Rome” the two historians answer a few questions that relate to the fall of Rome. The one specific time the two authors both agree is when Ward-Perkins mentions “disappointingly (perhaps) I basically agree with Peter here – neither of us have much time for the theory that the empire was quietly ‘transformed’, by the peaceful ‘accommodation’ into it of some Germanic barbarians. We both believe in invasions that were violent and unpleasant” (Heather, Peter, and Bryan Ward-Perkins). This is the only time presently written that both historians agreed on a given point. Peter’s statement that Ward-Perkins followed up with the agreement is “I am entirely convinced by all the evidence that shows that the late Empire was not being torn apart by irrevocable processes of decline by the fourth century” (Heather, Peter, and Bryan Ward-Perkins). The two authors are convinced that the transition was not peaceful, and from the information provided from the different wars there would have had to have been violence and not peace.

During the Fifth century, Germanic tribes from the north invaded the Western Roman Empire and sacked Rome (González pp. 260 & 270). This created political and social disorder. The Empire was then divided into separate independent kingdoms (González p. 269). As a result, the church tended to fill the void for order created by the political instability (González p. 260). However, as various kingdoms became established, local church leaders began to be appointed by kings rather than the churches (González p. 273). And, since the church had acquired much land, bishops became lords rather than pastors (González p. 273). The political instability cre-ated by a lack of a strong central government led to an increasingly feudal society (González p.318).

Peter Heather, currently teaches at Kings College. He points to immigration and external wars with barbarians as main factors as to why Rome fell. Joseph Vogt, theme focuses on Christianity and political instability leading to the downfall of the Roman Empire. Lastly Edward Gibbon, displays the decline in the Roman empire attributed to christianity and political and economic policies that hindered stability throughout the region.

Ancient Rome was an empire so dominant, wealthy and economically- stable which came to a dramatic fall in the period of 250AD- 500AD. Ancient Rome faced unexplained unfortunate events which crumbled the Great Empire from the affluent empire to a impoverished society. For centuries historians have timelessly theorised and analysed many debates and research in relation to the Fall of the Roman Empire. What really caused the predominate Roman Empire to fall? Did Rome fall naturally? Was disease, such as malaria a major contributor to the Fall of the Empire, Was man -made infrastructure a problem during Ancient Roman times? Was the fall a natural event? Was the climate changing causing natural disasters? Maybe, perhaps, all the theories interweaved with each other at the same time causing a catastrophic downfall, defeating the Ancient Roman Empire. Edward Gibbon (Gibbon, 1909, pp 173-174.) quoted,
