The Fall of the Roman Empire
Did the Roman Empire deserve to Fall?No The achievements of the Roman Empire were unmatched at its time. Many things it accomplished are ideas and ways of life that did not become widespread until after its fall. The Roman Empire would have made the advancement of people in Europe much faster. The Roman Empire was the most modern ancient empire. It made many advancements in the arts and sciences. It had many great poets, philosophers, artists, and engineers. The Romans encouraged learning and supported any who endeavored to make discoveries or technological improvement. If the Roman Empire had not fallen, the world, from a scientific stand point would be very different today. The Roman Empire would have made discoveries and scientific advancements before the Dark Ages. During the Dark Ages no scientific studies or appreciation of the arts took place. For almost an entire millennium humans made no advancements. The barbarians, who destroyed Rome, destroyed it to take its wealth not its knowledge. The knowledge that was lost was not resurrected until the Renaissance. Technological improvement was at a standstill. If the Roman empire had lasted, Europe would not have fallen into that dark period. Rome would have kept modern
The shortage of farmers led to Romans depending on foreign nations for food, a basic staple of life. During this anarchy, civilization deteriorated to its most basic level. All of the small landowners lost their land to wealthy big landowners. It took the rest of the world more than another millennia to form another democracy. No empire could have defended against the barbarians with anything short of a miracle. They began to fight for their general and not their country. They were seeking their own personal gain. They lost their basic care for Rome as the center of the empire kept changing. The depopulation occurring toward the end of the empire had a drastic effect on the empire. There was a new emperor every few years, the senators were picked by bribes and not by votes, elected officials were selfish and not looking out for the benefit of the people. Barbarian tribes completely surrounded the Roman Empire. The barbarians completely overwhelmed the Roman legions.
