Greeks fall to Rome

Rome's first thought was not in taking over Greece. Actually they didn't even think about domintaing anyone. In general the Hellenistic Empire was not really a threat until wars started to break out and leaders imposed taking over. During the Second Punic War Rome was almost destroyed by Carthage & The Macedonian Kingdom. King Philip, the leader of Macedon, and King Antiochus III, leader of Seleucid, both tried to expand on Greece and take over. Rome wanted to "protect" Greece and also started to view both leaders as a threat to itself. After what had previously been done Rome was unsure if it should expand. Eventually there was a war with Philip that resulted in Rome telling him to not take over Greece. He refused and thus there was a second war in 200 B.C. in which Flaminus led Rome. It ended in Rome declaring Greek cities free. Rome ultimately felt like they were protecting Greece but then tables seemed to turn. In a third war Rome invaded Greece.. They took control. They did not want to seize the land but decided to rule them. Rome did not want Greece to be overthrown by someone because then it might become a threat to itself; instead they to over to prevent this.

Rome's factors of implosion:

-The main factors include: decline in morals and values, political corruption, public health, inflation, unemployment, inferior technology, rise of Christianity, urban decay, and military spending. -In Rome all of the previously stated factors made the empire crumble. From one problem another occurred and it was a huge domino effect of implosion. -For a long time Rome was able to fight off barbaric attacks with its army. In the 3rd century A.D. however, the army was pulled away from its one rontier to fight a civil war and this left the border open for an attack. -Eventually Germanic hunters traveled into the Roman areas of Greece and Rome. In 476 A.D. German, Odacer, took over the last of the Roman emperors (Romulus) and Rome no longer existed in the west. Everything was left open and destructed.

- With break ups of the empires people could no longer control if slaves would runaway and the plantation system broke apart; systematic agriculture took a huge decline and the yields gradually decreased - Rome was a huge political factor, very rich empire, and large. By the fisrt century B.C. its population went beyond a million. During the early Middle Ages the population dropped to around 20,000. The once big empire was now areas of ruin and vegetation. -In these new ages people changed established society including: law, culture, religion, and patterns of property ownership.
