The fall of Rome!!!

The fall of Rome

Ancient Rome had several problems contributing to its downfall. It occurred when Diocletian split the empire in half. Also, attacks from nomadic tribes contributed to the fall of the empire. There was inflation (the value of money going down) also happening during this time. The empire was also getting too big to control. Rome also hired mercenaries to fight wars for them.

Many aspects of the fall of Rome can be compared to the U.S today. The U.S.: hires mercenaries to fight wars, is undergoing inflation, and is attacked by terrorists

I think that the U.S will not fall like Rome because the U.S can analyze what happened to Ancient Rome and change to fix the problem
