Most of the empires strength revolved around it's legions and the great rulers it had in it's time. Our Category is political, and we shall be showing you a few things that lead to the rise, but then also potentially lead to it's fall due to instability of the good things.]]> 2018-09-05 13:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/277972187 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/277982519 Rome had many great and efficient rulers, and that is what lead to it's downfall. Due to inconsistency of good rulers. But let us focus more on the greater leaders, rulers like Julius Caesar. He was a military leader, one that lead from the front, he conquered all of Gaul in the time span of only 8 years. Before then returning to Rome and in a sense basically abolishing the republic, making himself emperor.]]> 2018-09-05 14:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/277982519 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278418327 Rome had many of political achievements, one of them being the abolishment of a Republic and the forming of a powerful empire, who now relied on a single Emperor instead of a very large and pointless council. Who made decision making for the leader of rome difficult, having to get approval from atleasst a majority of them, the person who abolished it was the former general Julius Ceasar. ]]> 2018-09-06 13:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278418327 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278428409 The council was unhappy that Julius got so powerful and so they murdered him in cold blood. After the assassination of Julius the empire went into chaos over who would be the next emperor, Octavian was his great nephew, and his designated heir but there was also 3 other prominent noblemen with a claim on the emperor's throne, and also with Legions to back up the claim.]]> 2018-09-06 14:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278428409 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278436832 The second triumvirate was an alliance between Octavian, Lepidus and lastly Antony, these men lead Rome against it's various assaulter, each of them having their own portion of the empire under their control, Antony controlled The east, Lepidus the south and Octavian Rome and Gaul. Regardless they had a truce, and that truce quickly went down the drain, with Octavian attacking the other Triumvirates, and defeating them in several decisive battles, with Antony being the last one before he committed suicide alongside his lover Cleopatra.]]> 2018-09-06 14:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278436832 jaxlandez31 https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278857328 Rome was founded in 753BC and it was ruled by the powerful king Romulus. 

The Romans built such an efficient army that they could march up to 40KM a day.  

The first actual conflict was with the sabine people because they would kidnap all of the Roman women but the war was ended with a truce. 

They had an emperor that was 8ft 6in tall his name was Maximinus Thrax

Being at he mercy of the praetorian guard, well this lead to their downfall due to the emperor being at the mercy of his own personal guard, essentially being able to be blackmailed by them.]]> 2018-09-07 14:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/278860616 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/279408687 Theses things that lead to the downfall of Rome could lead to the downfall of most countries, and the USA is no exception. Should the USA split into 3 different sections and those 3 sections fight each other they would tear each other apart, the amount of civilian casualties 
would be stupidly high and the cost of the war insane, not only that but the damage to the infrastructure would also cost more. With all of those factors combined that alone could lead to the downfall. ]]> 2018-09-10 13:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/279408687 dreyarxerxes https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/280292216 In conclusion do not let your empire fall into chaos after the death of a great ruler by letting it split into 3 different sections. As for the US collapsing or preventing this they already are, as you can see it is stable and few presidents actually die in office. And when once does the law is swiftly carried out, like the case with Abraham Lincoln.]]> 2018-09-12 12:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dreyarxerxes/dAnKmEmEs/wish/280292216
