Most Successful Empires

In Danielle Evans’s collection of short stories Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self, the story “The King of a Vast Empire” talks about how traumatic events affect a family’s bond. The main trauma in this story is a car accident that haunts this family. Liddie, Terrance, and their parents got in a car accident one night. The dad was driving the car when he was going around a dark curve in the road and hit another car. The other car was stopped in the middle on the road because there was a fallen lumber in the middle of the road that their dad was trying to remove. The other car did not have their emergency lights on. When the dad hit the car, all of the kids in the backseat was killed

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.

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.

The empire is wealthy. Success is constant; the trained and equipped army group is destroying enemies. Having three leaders on each satrap is both effective and innovative. Having postal service and roads makes communication simple. Although there is much to commend, my job is more effective when I correct mistakes, although there are few errors, some are evident. The greater society would benefit in changes such as, having the group of 100,000 almost defenseless warriors cared for; raising the tribute prices and compromise wit the conquered about keeping laws, religion, and language after being conquered; and spreading out ethnic groups.

The Roman Empire was the period of time after the Roman Republic and before the Byzantine Empire from 29 B.C. to A.D. 476. It was the highest point of Roman civilization, greater than any prior empires and towers over even the empires after it; it triumphed over the world .

The great dynasties, empires, civilizations, and nations are praised heavily by the milestones, highlights, and achievements. To the extend that they are sometimes turned into films, television, or documentaries for generations to watch discuss and compare to any literature or research that exists for people to study. The same is said for the figures and/or leaders that lived and help to shape the world and environment that is study or functioning still to this day. It would seem that at times history is studied based upon popularity or where the most documentation exists to study. Such a statement is not to create an argument that history is unbalanced in focus in terms of periods of time or geographic location but rather to challenge the focus of where each are studied. The beginning of a civilization is equally as important as the high times or popular periods, as its lays the foundation of the potential and promise of the surviving, thriving, and longevity. This is proven when looking at Numa Pompilius and what he help to create and establish for the Roman Empire and the development of Rome itself.

The Roman Empire lasted from 201 BC to 476 AD and conquered many lands bordering them, including Mediterranean and covered all of western Europe and half of Britain. On the other hand, the Mongol empire lasted from 1206 AD to 1386 AD and conquered much of Russia, Islam, and many of the Slavic peoples. Their conquests were swift and brutal, often leaving thousands dead behind them and successfully becoming the civilization who had conquered the most land. Although both of the two empires were highly successful, but in my opinion, the Roman empire was more successful because they lasted much longer, was ruled by many successful and powerful leaders such as Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great, and also because it left behind many positive

Ancient empires had their own unique ways of exerting political power. After a period known as the Neolithic Revolution, early people settled down to create villages and states, and eventually civilizations formed. As the first civilizations grew larger and more powerful in Europe and Asia, governments became more complex and certain political methods were used to obtain a strong, centralized government. Before 600 C.E., ancient empires exerted political power using different methods, such as creating strict laws for all to follow, avoiding harsh punishments, distributing power to others, specifically free males, and embracing the cultures of other empires. These methods employed by ancient empires allowed them to maintain a centralized government

2: The first “Holy Roman Emperor” was Charlemagne and he received this title by the Pope Leo the third because he was able to unify most of western Europe and he gave the Pope his protection after the Roman Empire fell.

What kind of technology in the Roman Empire affect its growth the most? I will be investigating from the start of the Roman Empire in 753 BCE to when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE. This investigation will have a broad scope while investigating and include things from the Roman Legion to aqueducts and concrete. This investigation will not include technology that was not widely used to better the Roman Empire. The research question will answer my question by conducting research on how different groups of technology made the Roman Empire better based off of their potential uses and different contributions to Roman society.

Explain to her that for eons great civilizations, empires and countries have collapsed due to the disproportionate distribution of wealth -- igniting distrust, cynicism and, ultimately revolution -- both violent and non violent. Finally, explain to her the definition of a republic, democracy and capitalism. Please reinforce that capitalism is an economic system. Like with democracy, most "capitalist" countries are not wholly capitalist, and more often than not have mixed economies, in which government regulates certain aspects of the economy. At the end of the day, people voted the "poster child" capitalist who convinced us that he was one of us i.e. a man for the working class. Maybe Trump will let us use his personal Jet and yacht

The Khmer empire had many great achievements, this is made clear through their numerous temples, various remains and legends which they left behind. The Khmer empire was formed by the Khmer family line and their first king was Jayaraman the second. Jayaraman the second ruled during the formation of the empire and much of their territory growth, furthermore Jayaraman was an avid Hindu and a self-proclaimed god-king. during his reign, Jayaraman built the three-tiered towers which were later called “temple mountain”. These towers are said to represent Mt. Meru, the mountain which Hindus believe is where the gods rest when they come down to earth. the Khmer empire then continued to grow in power as they conquered more territory under the rule

In 308 AD, Emperor Theodosius made a declaration that Christianity officially be the religion of the Roman Empire. For Christianity to take hold in the region it needed to be normalized and made relatable to the people. Because of this the bishops created a chain of command so to speak within its leadership structure that would be known as the Patriarchs, with the bishop of Rome at the top, known as the Pope. The word pope comes from the Latin word meaning “father” which is why the Pope is also referred to as the Holy Father and it wasn’t until the eleventh century that Pope Gregory VIII began using the title of Pope.

A great man who conquered, then created the largest empire in the ancient world had lived. Alexander the Great accomplished a lot in his short life conquering vast lands as well as spreading the Greek culture throughout Middle East also Asia. Alexander the Great has many accomplishments in his life, and changed history in more of a passive way than in a direct way because of his character and the accomplishment he had built over his lifetime.

Papacy The bishop of Rome became Pope, first because Rome was the capital of the Empire, the magnet city, the imperial seat and retained its dignity even after the removal of the emperors to Constantinople. In Western Europe it had no rival. The second reason was the tradition that Peter the apostle had led the church there, been persecuted and tortured there and died as a martyr. Among the apostles Peter had a special place as the spokesman and, according to Matthew 16, the rock on which Christ would build his church, so his shrine held an importance for all Christians. Among all the traditions of the apostles it had no rival. So after the fall of Rome, in the confused and dangerous Europe that followed, the Bishop of Rome was in place to give stability and unity to the whole flock of Christ. He became Pope, Papa, Father, First among the bishops.
