The last reason that caused Rome to fall was the rulers. According to Document A, there were twenty-two rulers just during a fifty-year period, from 235 CE to 285 CE. Because there was a frequent change in rulers, the empire was instable, which was violent to the leadership. The empire could easily be conquered. Also, on the Background Essay, it said that the rulers became too worldly and lazy.
How and why did Gustavus Adolphus defeat the imperialists at the battle of Breitenfeld in 1631? Gustavus Adolphus has been called “the father of modern warfare”[Footnote]. The innovations he brought to the largely medieval battlefield of the time were revolutionary. The Battle of Breitenfeld, Saxony, in 1631, in which Gustavus Adolphus commanded a joint Swedish and Saxon force against an Imperial Germanic army commanded by Tilly shows the clash of two armies who are in completely different leagues in all respects. So why were Gustavus and his Swedish army even in Saxony to fight Tilly?
News reached him that the tribune_s veto against Pompey_s legislation had been disallowed, and that they had fled the city. Caesar knew that if he resigned his command on his army, that he would be immediately prosecuted for his actions in 59 BC. The only manouvere he could see which would enable him to continue to be free, was to enter Italy with his legions and defend his honour and reputation. OUTLINE THE CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION OF CAESAR IN THE PERIOD 49-44 BC Between 49-44 BC, Caesar became more and more autocratic, until the oligarchy government Rome had desperately tried to achieve for so long became a one man dictatorship. It began small, with a dictatorship lasting only 11 days, until in 44 BC he was given this position for life.
How far was the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536 a threat to Henry VIII? The Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536 was the largest rebellion of the Tudor Period. Rebels rose across the North of England, rebelling against change to their traditional way of life and worship. By 10th October, Robert Aske, a Yorkshire lawyer had become chief captain of an army of thirty thousand. The rebels made their headquarters in York before moving down to Pontefract on 21st October where Lord Darcy handed over Pontefract Castle; the most important fortress in the North.
Another primary reason of Rome’s decline was a series of foreign invasions. As Rome’s army weakened, foreigners began taking over parts of Rome. Many people hated Rome for taking all their land and property because Rome had conquered many provinces over the years of its prosperity. Land was important, and the Romans had a lot of it, so foreigners wanted to conquer Rome. The Visigoths were the first to reach there.
A Bridge of Ships Upon the United States entering World War I in 1917, the Allied Nations were on the brink of defeat. After fighting for nearly three years, the allied troops were struggling to find the man power, weapons, and resources to continue fighting. It was certain that if they did not receive help soon, they would be defeated by the Central Powers. On April 2, 1917, the Allied Nations received news that gave them new hope for a chance of victory. On that day, United States President, Woodrow Wilson, went to Congress and asked for a declaration of war against Germany.
*Transition Sentence* Scholars and Historians have come up with many reasons to why the great, grand Empire of Rome ended. For over 200 years, territory from modern-day Spain to Scotland, the entire Mediterranean Sea, and Colonies in Egypt, Asia Minor, Middle East, and North Africa were all under control of the Roman Empire. The question still remains, however. What really brought this dominance to a screeching halt? Was it the Lack of Military Protection, Foreign Invasions from every corner of the Empire, or just the fact that Emperors changed like someone changes Clothes?
As told by Tacitus, a Roman historian, first taking place in 60 AD we are introduced to Suetonius who is the new governor of Briton. Suetonius’, whose military talents gave him pretensions, decided that he wanted, during his reign as king, to conquer all. He plans to do so first by taking over the Isle of Mona. This was actively the refuge place for Britons who are avoiding Rome. However, taking place on the Isle of Mona at the time is a complete abomination of people, food, land and supplies.
Although the senators succeeded in ending Caesar's life, they did not realize at that time that the Republic had died with him. Rome would now become an empire. There were five main figures this process brought to the forefront of Roman politics and who in turn perpetuated the cycle, allowing the rise of the next figure: Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, and Julius Caesar. In 133 B.C.E., Tiberius Gracchus became tribune. He saw that many of Rome's troubles revolved around the decline of the free peasantry who were flocking into the cities.
When the government collapsed these different peoples divided creating new languages with it. Although, when the Han dynasty collapsed, the Chinese people didn’t know who to look up to, or what to believe. The fall of the European Empire collapsed because Germanic tribes were pushing into the territories while Europe
