Fortunately, I believe the United States will not fall soon like Rome did. The United States exhibits different manifestations than Rome did. For example, the United States has a strong and consistent military force, many cures and doctors for illness, and a good election process. I will provide evidence to show this to you in the paragraphs below.
My class notes say that Rome was having problems with having a loyal and strong army. For example, there were, “military leaders fighting among themselves”(Data Set). Another example was that there were, “troops in battle, exposed to wounds because they have no armor, think about running and not about fighting”(Document 2). Also, “Hosts of senators, bureaucrats, and clergymen were entitled the avoid the draft…”(Document 3). The Romans were so successful that they started laying back. Because of this, helmets and breastplates were not being made, causing soldiers to die in battle. The army started strong but soon plummeted into failure, because of their …show more content…
For example, “the population of Rome decreased from a million people to 250,000”(Document 5). Another example was, “disease spreads in Rome”(Data Set). Also, “economic life worsened in consequence,”(Document 5). The plague was so deadly that it wiped out ¾ the population of Rome. This may have been caused because of the many immigrants entering Rome, in order to become a Roman citizen. Because of this decrease, the Roman army deteriorated and more money was spent. This was another main reason of the decline of the Roman Empire. My mom stated that, “Our country does not have issues with health today, because we have scientists and technology to help us find cures and reduce the number of diseases. Even though America is a “land of immigrants”, it is much stronger than Rome.” Based on this data, I think the United States may not fall because it is disparate to Rome when it comes to health
