The parthian army was very strong, but as they started losing in wars and could not defend themselves, the soldiers lost interest and got tired of losing so they kind of just left

# data[].attributes.body
The Parthian Empire didn't enforce as much of their taxes because they had lots of territory but could not control all of it. As they lost in wars, and constant invasions, the Parthian economy was unstable and this led to their downfall

Military for the Greek was a huge problem, the fragmentation of the city-states caused a lack in centralization, and therefore a lack in resources and unity. When the Romans attacked, the Greek had little to no funds for their military and defenses. They suffered great casualties and lost control over the city states; the Romans had conquered The Greek City-states successfully.

# data[].attributes.body
The Parthian people hated the way they were treated and this led to revolts and eventually led to the weakening of the empire and the downfall.

the moral decline in the parthians and achaemenid was an issue because greed and desire for power

When Alexander The Great died, the states fell apart; Ashoka still had descendants after he died, but it grew weaker. That is the difference between ATG and Ashoka's empires.

# data[].attributes.body
Like the Achaemenid, the Parthians ruled harshly and the people hated this harsh treatment, the parthians ruled with an iron fist and didn't really mess around. The Parthians wanted things done their way and they did not really care for what their people had to say

# data[].attributes.body
We had a lot in common with the greek city states because we followed their footsteps pretty closely.

# data[].attributes.body
This is just a thought/guess, but I think another thing that could have  possibly led to even more internal revolt may have been the fact that the Mauryan Empire went from Jainism to Buddhism. Even though the decline didn't start till 50 years after Ashoka the Great, but it still may have caused an issue among the people.

# data[].attributes.body
After Ashoka died, the people who ruled after him were weak so they gave the power to the smaller

The Greek city states fell a bit because they weren't united in their government to help one another
the Mauryan and the Achaemenid had their own 'governors' that eventually gained too much power which caused some internal tension with revolts
the Mayan's moral decline was due to the lessening of their king's importance, since the individual parts started to govern themselves

# data[].attributes.body
The Mayan Empire had a moral decline of not wanting to follow the king but more wanting to follow the city-state ruler,

Eastern and romans follow in the the footsteps of the greeks. Like the roman, the mauryan had provinces that became independent and caused internal revolts. like the mauryan, the eastern and western parts of rome had to come together to form. It convenient for sometime. Romans were invaded as well and we were both divided like Greek city states. Ended in the same fate.

# data[].attributes.body
The Phoenicians didn't really have/want to have any conflicts because we didn't/ didn't want to grow in war and we were lenient on who we allowed into our empire/ society unlike the Qin, whom kept their people in and foreigners out.

# data[].attributes.body
Considering that the Romans copied our literature and life style, it was kind of weird that they invaded (talk about really wanting to be like us) the Greek City States which was bad on their part in the end anyway.

The achaemenid and phonecians were very accepting none of the empires had slaves based on race

The parthians were leniant in accepting their people

Like the Roman Empire, the Mauryan Empire had a very large and strong standing army of it's time and region.

In contrast to the Achaemenid empire they used their costly technology for defense like archery while the Mayan empire

# data[].attributes.body
A theory of why the Mayan empire fell was because of how they had so many city states it caused overpopulation and that led to having less funds to support the people.

# data[].attributes.body
The Greek City-States were separated before and after Alexander The Great's death. This proved to be a bad idea when the Romans started invading; the City States were all separated.

# data[].attributes.body
To defend themselves the Qin and the Han had to build the Great Wall of China to keep the Mongols out. Also, Shi huangdi spent so much work & money on building his tomb & the Terra Cotta Soldiers. For this they needed slaves & many people died. Also, the great wall wasn't successful.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mauryan Empire also had a lot of internal revolt that led to the provinces becoming more independent than they were already becoming. This lead to issues with their trade routes and military, the military was becoming weak. Eventually the empire was attacked and taken over.

# data[].attributes.body
There were no religious tensions in the Greek City-States because they uniformly practiced the Greek religion (12 major gods & goddesses)

# data[].attributes.body
The parthians didn't have much racial tension. The parthians were more war orientated and didn't focus much on their own society and culture. Most tension was against other enemies. Parthians were focused on expanding and conquering, they didn't discriminate as much as other empires, like the Achaemenid, they were more accepting and not racist. They didn't view people differently like how racial tensions are today. They accepted people and kept expanding itself to try to grow into a superpower and conquer more land

# data[].attributes.body
Not only was military a huge issue for the auryan empire, but also the cost of maintaining the trade routes.

Slavery was actually not based on race but rather on financial/social

An example of costly technology would be the both Chinese dynasties, Han and Qin. The Han made their people pay taxes for the levy they built to control the river, which was a good thing unless you had no money for these taxes. This lead to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which ended the Han. The Qin, were so focused on building the Great Wall, that it killed a good portion of their people. It also wasn't as successful with how it was built. Barbarians we still able to get in through the wall.

# data[].attributes.body
Greek City States were not as united as they should've been, so when the Romans attacked us (even though they copied our culture) it wdidn't end very well for us.

Phoenicians focused more on their literature by creating the alphabet and the numerical system to further our abilities and we bettered our trade by creating more of our own things to kind of keep our economy up.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mayan Empire used their advanced technology for things more like engineering, and building their pyramids and structures and the Qin and Han dynasties had the great wall of china which was one of their major technologies and those are similar in a way because they both related to creating structures that are still here today.

# data[].attributes.body
the moche had enough to be settled, but we became high on water ways. Providing for the military was really hard on us. Mauryan had one of the biggest armies like the Roman empire. Like the mauryan, we also had to take a lot of money out of the government to keep it going.

# data[].attributes.body
Hellenistic: technology was not much of an issue
Han: the great wall to maintain was a very costly technology that became an economic burden on the  empire
Parthenon: both this empire and the Achaemenid focused their technology on defense against enemies
Mayan: they focused their technology on agriculture and the calendar
Roman: they had many different technology that they wanted to create and supply, but this cost them too much and like the Han, became a burden

# data[].attributes.body
Sassanids suffered from many invasions that weakened the empire causing everything to come crashing down, they lost many times in war, soldiers lost hope

# data[].attributes.body
While the Greeks had been centered on philosophy, religion, art and literature, the Romans had been expanding their military power. This is a reason for the downfall of the Greek.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mayan empire used a lot of costly technology for their astronomical discoveries that are still used today & the use of a lot of money for that could have also added to the decline of the Mayan empire.

The Qin had to constantly fight barbarians such as the Mongols, who constantly invaded them. If people didn't want to fight anymore, then they'd have to recruit mercenaries

The parthian empire had a very strong and effective army that got the job done but with weak naval force and weak foot army, soldiers started to lose hope in a way and also economic instability, led to revolts

# data[].attributes.body
Parthians had a very strong if not the strongest cavalry ever seen. This was devastating to opponents but they had a very weak foot empire that ultimately led to their fall

# data[].attributes.body
the economic burdens experienced ties into the fact that there was no will to fight so, they tried to hire people. This lead to the fact that we didnt have enough money to fight "or own" battles.

The Greek city states started to fall when the cities funding's were cut off which the Roman's took advantage of

The Mauryan empire became weaker and as the did their economy got harder to manage

the Mayan had trouble centralizing with overpopulation which made it hard to support everyone

the Roman empire had the same problem of the Achaemenid did with overbearing taxes that lead to revolts against the empire.

# data[].attributes.body
The Mayan empire had a problem with over population, they most likely fell because of the lack of funds and not being able to provide for all of the people in the empire.

# data[].attributes.body
Empires dying out equaled to them losing money and not being able to hold up a civilization

# data[].attributes.body
in the Mayan empire there was internal conflict causing a bit of a downfall

In Hellenistic empire many people weren't willing to fight anymore because not all of them were paid which was main reason for a weakened military

In the Han dynasty there was a lot of need for military protection

Phoenicians were under another army's control which mean it was totally independent.

# data[].attributes.body
Roman empire was also too big to control eventually causing us to split, and and later on western empire began to rise

Actually, for greek city-states, the separation of states was a HUGE problem. When Romans attacked, they did not bind together to fend off the assault.

The Greek City-States crumbled slowly but steadily. They died out because of small peasant uprisings, government, and the Roman Invasion. The Romans mimicked the Greek culture (for example, they took the Gods & Goddesses of the Greeks and changed their names; the Gods & Goddesses were still heavily based on the Greek counterparts) and lifestyle. Quite interesting if you ask me

Qin dynasty was taken over by the Han.
Economy (with the outsiders) didn't really affect the fall of either the Qin and Han dynasty, they had the advantage of the Silk Road; although other dynasties and outsiders tried to mess with Chinese dynasty economy. In terms of the inner dynasty, however, lower class people were expected to pay so many taxes because the higher ups didn't have to pay. It made the low class people begin to revolt and go against the government and refuse to pay (they would get away to where the government couldn't reach them).
Technology was really costly for both the Qin and the Han. The Qin had begun the Great Wall of China and it took coercive labor and it cost many lives (like in the video we watched where the people worked non-stop and lived really poorly (unhealthy)). For the Han, it was costly to maintain the Great Wall since it was needed because they were always being attacked by either mongols and other outsiders. Also, it took much money to keep the military in good shape so they could protect the empire's borders.
This was true to the Han empire since the upper class people were all about pleasure and wanting happiness; they wanted a good life, making the lower class have a bad and poor life because of the high class people's ambitions (this ties to the economic issues since the poor had to take the economic role of the low and high class). The Mandate of Heaven was involved in this; moral decline was a cause of the end of the Han.Then again, Confucianism was the base of the government and everything was based on morals.
