    Two aspects of the Roman politics and culture change noticeably; the rise of Christianity, and the division of the empire which ended with an Eastern and a Western Roman Empire. Christianity altered the Roman lifestyle, while the decentralization of the Empire left Western Europe without a strong political system until the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. Although these changes marked the beginning of the Byzantine Empire, an important continuity shaped the Byzantine political attitude; the conservation of the Greco-Roman laws and ideas.

The majority of the internal conflicts were caused by the shifting in religious practices and beliefs amongst the citizens, of which Christianity was a part of.…

    Though confusion originally existed about the exact date Rome was founded, it is accepted to say that Rome was found in 753 BC and the Roman Republic emerged in 509 BC (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). Rome was one of the most prominent states in the Latium region. Much of early Rome’s success should be credited to the major Etruscan help it received— even the name Rome is derived from the Etruscan language. Eventually, Rome encountered circumstances, e.g. not having enough land to accommodate the growing population, which required they expand their territory. Early Roman expansion proved to be remarkably successful, but it did have a negative impact on the politics and economy of the late Roman Republic.…

    Fascism and Nazism are two political ideologies that gained a wide support in the first part of the 20th century. The chronology is as follows: fascism was introduced to the Italians by Benito Mussolini in the period between 1919 and 1945 while Nazism appeared in 1933 and faced a rapid decay with the end of the WW2 in 1945. Ideologically, Nazism and fascism diverged to a big extent and were promoted under different slogans.
