Barbarian attacks caused the fall of the Roman Empire because the Roman Soldiers left the border wide open for attacks. The Roman soldiers were forced to retreat from the frontier to go fight in the civil wars to protect their citizens and family. Since the border was wide open and ready to attack, German hunter and herders invaded Gaul and Greece in the third century A.D (Ten Theories 1). Eventually, Odovacar took over the last part of the Roman Empire in A.D. 476. The raids were from a group that called themselves The Huns and they originate from Central Asia. The Huns bombarded kingdoms after they took over south-eastern Europe (Bernstein and Shek 362). The Empire was worried for the next several decades about being…

Caligula was the popular nickname of Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (31 August AD 12 – 24 January AD 41), Roman Emperor (AD 37–41). Caligula was a member of the house of rulers conventionally known as the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Caligula's father Germanicus, the nephew and adopted son of Emperor Tiberius, was a very successful general and one of Rome's most beloved public figures. The young Gaius earned the nickname "Caligula" (meaning "little soldier's boot", the diminutive form of caliga, hob-nailed military boot) from his father's soldiers while accompanying him during his campaigns in Germania.…

Throughout the classical period, many civilizations, and empires have grown, like Greece, the Mayan empire, and the Gupta Empire. Although many have rose, and became greater, a few empires also got destroyed, including some of the same that grew. Near the end of the classical period, two of the largest empires of Ancient Europe and Asia, Rome and Han China collapsed. Even though the Han China Empire only lasted 200 years, and Rome around 900, they were the largest empires in the classical period. Each empire had many different emperors, and rulers, yet they continued to fail in restoring the empires. During the Classical era, the Roman Empire and Han China both had problems with epidemics, and corrupt leaders; However, they also divided they're kingdoms differently, and fell from different conflicts.…

While some differences between second wave empires and river valley societies are noticeable, the similarities are far more pronounced. In comparison to the initial civilizations discussed in chapter two, the second wave empires were much larger and significantly more powerful. However this is nothing special because through much of history, empires and political organizations grew continuously stronger and held more authority, parallel to the development and understanding of humans. In contrast, second wave empires maintained many of the traits of the initial such as the practice of monarchs, patriarchy,…
How was the Hunnic Empire destroyed in the Battle of Nedao in 454 AD? The fall of the Hunnic Empire is very momentous because they were such a superior force compared to others at the time that the Hunnic Empire was seen as a force to be reckoned with. I believe the reasoning behind the destruction of the Hunnic empire in the Battle of Nedao in 454 AD is because of the disarray of leadership following the death of the former acting leader, Attila the Hun.…

Within fifty years of Christopher Columbus discovering the New World, the Spanish empire had gained almost complete control of Central America and the majority of South America. Furthermore, the Spanish controlled large portions of southern Europe, including much of Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands. The success of the Spanish empire began its gradual decline in the seventeenth century. Many factors contributed to the ultimate demise of the Spanish empire, but the main cause of the fall of the empire was Spain’s poor economic decisions. The Spanish government delegitimized their currency, overextended their empire, and created an army that they could not financially maintain all within the seventeenth century. Additionally, they continued to get involved in…

In the late 18th and early 20th century, European nations with vast wealth and power saw opportunities in increasing their sphere of influence by exploiting weaker or smaller nations of Africa for their resources. In Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness”, the political principle of imperialism is depicted by Conrad to show the mechanisms and attitudes of the world along with his views.…
In order to build an empire, a leader must be committed. Building an empire is hard work, and they have to be willing to make sacrifices when it gets tough. They have to be interested in what they're doing. When someone is passionate about something, they go the extra mile to make it the best that it can be. So, if you have a passionate leader, they will more likely do everything they can for the empire and its citizens. The builder of an empire has to be motivated. There is a lot of trial and error that goes in to doing something great, and they can't back down if they fail the first time. Leadership is quite possibly the most important quality. Empire builders must be able to not only motivate themselves, but other people, too. If a leader…
Perhaps these global shifts that trickle down to societies from the interactions between states AND between other active agents like commercial firms, are better explained through liberalism. Liberalism contends the realist idea of self-interest with the theory that the complexity of economical and political ties among nations supersedes the struggle for dominance through power. The economic thread of liberal theory seems to best fit the current context of the globalizing world: “As societies around the globe become enmeshed in a web of economic and social connections, the costs of disrupting these ties will effectively preclude unilateral state actions, especially the use of force” (Walt, 40). Because liberalism sheds light to the economical factors of international relations, it diverts the singular role of the state as the main unit of foreign affairs to a variety of other components like commercial firms and international organizations. Liberalism, however,…
Halie Selassie’s speech to the League of Nations is an important moment in the build-up to the Second World War as it represented the triumph of Italian Fascism. The colony of Ethiopia which for so for long had avoided colonialism now became one. The Italian Invasion of Ethiopia was an ongoing conflict that had long been in the designs of Italian minds to re-design a new Roman Empire. (Blinkhorn, 2014, pp. 43-45) The Leagues of Nation’s economic sanctions proved worthless against the Italians, and the British refrained from closing the Suez Canal to Italian shipping. No sanctions were imposed by nations such as the United States and Germany who weren’t even members of the League of Nations. By May 1936, an exhausted, defeated, Emperor Halie…
