Compare And Contrast The American Empire And Ottoman Empire
Throughout history there has been times when empire building and expansion were very popular.
During the Early Modern Era, from 1450–1750, this occurred a lot. The European, Russian,
Chinese, Mughal and, Ottoman empires were all being built around the same time. An empire is a
group of states or countries under one supreme ruler. When the empire is divided by an ocean or has
part of it distant from the other, the part away from the mainland is known as a colony and the
homeland is the Mother Country. This took place many times during this time period when the
Americas were first discovered by people native to the Eastern Hemisphere. Between 1450 and
1750 AD, the European, and the Russian, Chinese, Mughal and Ottoman empires were similar ...

The European empires colonized the Americas, so they had to cross the Atlantic ocean to get there.
This gave them more goods to trade with because the Americas had different natural resources than
Europe and Asia. The empires without colonies had faster trade because there wasn't that great
distance but the new things they needed they got from the empires with colonies in the Americas.
The empires with the colonies in America had the advantage. The European Empires were also
different from the Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman Empires in that Europe hurt the
unintentionally natives of the land they took over while the other empires did not. Since Europe was
building empires in another continent, many things would be different. A major difference was the
immune systems of the people. The europeans had immunities to certain diseases such as bubonic
plague, pneumonic plague,, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, and tuberculosis, because
they had been exposed to them before. Since the Native Americans were never exposed to them,
they never built immunities. When the Europeans came to the Americans they carried the diseases
without knowing. Making majority of the population sick. Tribe after tribe they died because they
could not fight these diseases. This clearly made more room for the Europeans but in a tragic way.
Similarly, the European Empires were different from the Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman
Empires in their reasonings for expansion. Europe expanded across the Atlantic Ocean because they
were geographically at an advantage. They had access to this new land the for the other places to get
to it would either take too long or they would physically have to go through the European's land to
get there. They had this advantage and took it

The Roman Empire : The Fall Of The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine era was the era that shaped our world and made it what it is today. They influenced
modern decisions and they were a very advance civilization in that age. The Roman emperor
Constantine and his successor moved the Capital to the Eastern Mediterranean and they rebuilt the
city called Byzantium and called it Constantinople. The empire grew out to the Middle East and to
Northern Africa. The Eastern side of the Roman empire became too known as the Byzantine empire.
The empire held its power for 500 years after it collapsed. There are a lot of reasons why the empire
fell and one of them are that they were attacked by barbaric tribes like the Goths. The roman empire
also fell because they overly relied on peasants who were the farmers and the soldiers in the
military. The roman empire was also attacked by the Arabs in the 600s and the 700s and overall
these 3 reasons were one of the few reasons why the roman empire came to an end. Even if the
roman empire fell it impacted the world a lot even to this day the ideas they made are still being
used. There are a lot of reasons why people should study about the Byzantine era and one of them
are that they were skilled and very advanced in military and in economic power for back then. They

Empire, the mightiest and biggest Empire in the world. Mongols were nomads from north of the
Gobi Desert. They were first ruled by Genghis Khan, which means "Universal Ruler". Temuchin,
which is Genghis ' birth name, lived a rough early life. His father was poisoned by an enemy. When
older, he decided to unite all the Mongol clans under one empire, making him one of the most

A.D (Doc 1). Since then and before then, there hasn 't been an empire so big, with so many

The Dispoman Empire : The Fall Of The Roman Empire
The Roman Empire was once an empire that nobody could contend with once they had taken out the
Carthaginians. It was a place of virtue, art, culture, and money. There was nobody better than Rome
in the world. But eventually they were doing nothing at all, they weren't conquering, culture wasn't
thriving, virtues were lost, politics were unstable, and the empire was split into two: the Western and
Eastern Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire suffered the biggest part of this blow before
eventually falling. The Western Roman Empire fell because of military decline, economic problems,
disease, political instability/corruption.
The Roman military was once the best army, and could easily fend off barbarians. But as a result of
civil war, economic problems and diseases their military was declining. Beginning with the reign of
Hadrian, the Romans had their troops stationed on their borders to combat barbarian threats. They
were intended to be impenetrable, so the emperors had no central reserve force(Ferrill, The Fall of
the Roman Empire: The military explanation, 25). This was called preclusive security. As Ferrill
said, "Their superb military organization and disciplined tactics made it possible for them to defeat
northern barbarians even when the Roman army was greatly outnumbered"(26) This shows that the
preclusive security strategy was very effective, although they were spread fairly thin. But there was

The Maurya Empire And The Mughal Empire
The two most expansive empires to exist on the subcontinent of India are the Maurya Empire which
dominated ancient India from 322 BCE to 187 BCE and the Mughal Empire which had control from
1526 to 1857 until the British Raj took over. Although these empires existed almost two thousand
years apart, they have a great deal in common including what made them such successful and far–
reaching political forces, and maintain differences like what succeeded them after their downfalls.
The Mauryan Empire is considered to be one of the most successful of its time. At its zenith it
spanned nearly 2 million square miles and boasted a population of about 60 million, making it the
largest Indian empire in history and one of the most populated empires of Antiquity. This was not
unlike the Mughal Empire, whose reach was upwards of 1.5 million square miles with a population
of over 158 million in 1700. When viewed on a map, the kingdoms are nearly identical in
geographical span, occupying the vast majority of what is now India and Afghanistan. While both
dynasties expanded their empires, the Mauryan dynasty's expansion was far more significant than
that of the Mughal which is better known for unifying kingdoms within the Indian subcontinent after
taking control from the Delhi Sultanate. The most famed ruler of the Maurya Empire was Ashoka

The Ottoman Empire : The Fall Of The Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire was one of the greatest empires to ever reign in history. It is widely recognized
as being one of the most advanced and inclusive empires especially in the first half of its existence.
The Ottomans were ahead of the Europeans in just about every aspect of civilization for a few
centuries. They were constantly defeating the militaries of the Europeans until the Battle of Lepanto
in 1571. The Ottomans were a formidable force in the area for a long period of time. In the
nineteenth century, the Ottomans had realized that they had fallen far behind the Europeans
economically, socially, and militarily. The documentary, The Ottomans: Europe's Muslim Emperors
discusses this. They describe the Ottoman Empire as "This was an empire on an life support system,
an old world dynasty colliding with a modern world." The Ottomans saw they were behind and
enacted many decrees, that became known as the Tanzimat or the reorganization of the Ottoman
Empire in a literal translation. The Tanzimat reorganizations were too little, too late. The Tanzimat
failed because of its inability to fix their outdated systems and to create a strong constitution to keep
their changes in place. For instance, the Ottoman Empire to assimilate to the Europeans. The first of

The Byzantine Empire : The Fall Of The Roman Empire
My chosen topic is looking at the fall of the Roman Empire and the reasons for the fall, including
looking at the reasons for the split in the Empire in c. 312– 395 CE and how the eastern half
managed to survive for so much longer before finally falling. I am interested in these areas as before
when learning about the Roman Empire we never cover that it had broken in two and I was also
interested to learn that the Byzantine Empire was what remained of the Roman Empire, we also
never explored how the empire ended, just that the Empire fell and consequently Europe went into
the Dark Ages. The fall is mainly attributed to the weakness of the Roman army against the
surrounding tribes, these tribes were growing stronger and looking to expand eventually managing
to invade the city of Rome and kill the last Emperor; Romulus Augusts, however his death was only
the end result of the many factors that lead to the weakening of the Empire. It led only to the fall of
the western Roman Empire, the later named Byzantine Empire lasted until the 15th Century.
Another reason I chose this topic was because I was interested in impact that Christianity had on the

The Empire Of The Persian Empire
Extending from Egypt to northern Central Asia, the Persian empire was one of the most immense
empires that the ancient world had seen. Its emergence began in 550 B.C, once Cyrus the Great who
had recently come into power conquered his northern neighbor, the Medes, giving him access to the
reserves of gold and silver that were buried in the Zagros Mountains. Encouraged by his conquest of
the Medes, he captured Babylon and then advanced through Asia Minor to the Mediterranean Sea.
He later united the Persians, allowing him to create the Persian Empire, also known as the
Achaemenid empire. With access to the Mediterranean seaports, the Persians gained control of the
wealth of the ancient world from the regions, allowing them to built a vast and prosperous empire.
Although Cyrus is partially known for being a great conqueror, he is most importantly recognized as
a pioneer of human rights. To manage his boundless empire he divided newly conquered territories
into provinces which helped him rule freely. Even after his death, leaders like Darius I adopted his
influential techniques allowing them to maintain the expansive Persian Empire. Although the
Persians established their vast empires through sanguinary battles, they remained successful and
continued to influence other empires for years because of their tolerant nature and organized society.

The Roman Empire was a time when the government was ruled by emperors and there were

encompassed the coastland and people of three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. Many like to
remember it was "the last and greatest of the Hellenistic empires, with all of the cultural variety that
the term connotes" (Andrea & Overfield, 2014, p. 300). Because of the characterization of "The Fall
of the Roman Empire" many have had a misconception of it. It did not collapse, what happened was
that it was a work in process that seemed to have caught up. There are many causes to the fall of the

The Roman Empire : The Byzantium Empire
The Byzantium Empire, was the Eastern addition to the Roman Empire during the Late Antiquity
and The Middle Ages. Established in the Ancient Greek city Byzantion in 330 AD by the Roman
Emperor Constantine as the new imperial capital of Rome. Furthermore, he had added duplicates of
everything from Old Rome, such as the Coliseum and the Imperial palace, not including the Pagan
temples. The Byzantines had spoken Greek and had more Greek architecture and culture than
Roman. The Byzantium Empire had survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th
century AD. Byzantine was able to remain for a thousand years before subsequently in 1453 falling
to the Ottoman Turks. The Byzantium empire was a phenomenal empire lasting almost 1,200 years,
it had survived all the other great empires. Much more impressive than age, was the influence and
reach the empire had had on civilization. Christianity, literacy, beginnings of art, literature, and
architecture from the Russians, Serbs, and the Bulgarians came from the inspiration of the
Byzantines in a variable degree. Up until the eleventh century Byzantine was a dominant power, but
by the mid eleventh century the Byzantines were faced with an eastern invasion from the recently

The Spanish Empire, And The Empire Of The Portuguese Empire
Portugal: In existence for nearly six centuries, the Portuguese Empire was one of the largest and
longest–lived empires in the world and the first colonial empire of the Renaissance. Portugal's
colonization style followed two basic patterns: in Asia, the Portuguese conquered cities, then
monopolize trade; whereas in Africa and the Americas, they occupied expansive territories where
European political organization was imposed on existing indigenous societies. The royal crown
withheld strict control of justice, fortified by the authority of royal agents; in this system natives
were rarely if ever given any mechanism for self–governance in their own lands. Hence, the crown
created colonial institutions endowed with vague jurisdictions intended to act as a check–and–
balance system for each other. Although this strategy worked to solidify Portuguese presence and
establish dominance across the globe, the recurring approvals and consultations required by the
monarchical administrative procedure hindered Portuguese efficiency and rule for its far–reaching
empire, especially for immediate concerns like military threats. Instead of a strong empire with
precise and defined areas of responsibility, the superpower worked through a precarious
arrangement of vertical and horizontal surveillance among officials as a means of defending their
supreme authority. This framework eventually led to a rather weak centralized empire in which the

The Persian Empire : The Success Of The Persian Empire
Terrance Green December 7, 2017 World Civilization I Dr. Yergler Paper Assignment #1 There are
many reasons in which the Persian empire is considered one of the greatest civilizations ever in
human history and this can mostly be attributed to the stupendous leadership of the one and only
Cyrus the great. One of the best kings that the world has ever seen and was the most dominant man
in his era. He was brilliant and extremely powerful as he was smart and strong enough to conquer
almost every single land within his area and put them all together into one persian empire. The
legacy that Cyrus left behind him was one that every king after him tried to follow. For example,
emperor Darius I still continued the expansion of the persian empire and reigned control over it as
well. After Cyrus died there was a time in which there was nothing but trash rulers and then Darius I
came into power. As I stated earlier Darius wanted to follow in the steps of Cyrus and be even
greater than him so Darius builded on what Cyrus achieved and split the persian empire into
multiple provinces to control the government a little easier. Another thing that made persia so
successful was the fact that they tolerated non–Persian folks to live in their empire. There were

The Roman Empire : The Fall Of The Roman Empire
Rome was once an extremely strong empire that influenced modern day culture, architecture and

advances had a slow and gradual fall. There are many reasons why this empire fell but there are a

Rome's fall was the declining military and the many invaders. Within an excerpt by Indro
Montanelli, it says, "The Roman army [was] composed entirely of Germans" (Doc. 5). There were

in war but those days were no longer possible to recreate. In the Human Legacy textbook, it states,
"As new peoples began to move west from Central Asia, however, they pushed these Germanic
tribes into the empire" (190). The result of this happening was something that the legions thought

food chain and stayed there and influenced not only their region but the world for countless
millennium even after they were no longer a functioning empire. Two such empires were the Roman
Empire and the Persian Empire. The first factor to consider when thinking of successful empires
would be geographical location. The second factor would have to be the leadership, and the third
would have to be the method in which the empire expands. All of these factors are what makes a

and much of Southeast Asia. After Genghis died his children ruled the empire. Their empire lasted
130 years before finally falling to the Ming dynasty. One of the crucial reasons the Mongols could

the people of those lands under Mongols control. The Great Yasa was very different from other laws
in history. With the Yasa they had a clear way to punish rule breakers, and they had a set of laws that
did not change. The Yasa made people rethink their choices because they knew if they broke the law,
there was going to be punishment for them. The Yasa helped keep order in the empire which

British Empire's presence lasted for nearly four hundred years, through various external and internal

The Roman Empire and the Han Empire
After the collapse of the Qin Dynasty in the third century BCE, the Han Empire emerged as a
massive imperial power in the East. Its culture was compiled upon the teachings of Confucius and
ancestor worship. Meanwhile in the west, the Romans solidified their authority as being a dominant
force in the Mediterranean. Both the Roman Empire and the Han Empire were similar in their
governments as they both supported a centralized government. On the other hand, they were
different in the manner of how they dealt with foreigners and outside visitors. Although the Han
Empire and the Roman Empire were alike, there are more differences between them than
similarities. One difference between the two empires were their treatment with foreigners. The Hans
believed that they had no need for them to be included within the Empire. However, this was not the
case for the Romans. The Roman Empire would accept outsiders and tolerate them. The Empire
treated the foreigners well– even to the extent of making them citizens. During this time however,
the Romans did not have enough people to go to war. This led them into giving the barbarians jobs
in the military. Soon, there were so many foreign soldiers to the degree that almost 70% of the entire

The Mongol Empire And The Empire Of The Mongol Empire
Mongols Chinggis Khan founded the Mongol Empire in 1206 A.D. this was the rise of nomadic
pastoral societies in the north. The Mongol's established the largest contiguous empire in the
Neolithic era. The Mongol Empire was notable for their military power, their diplomatic protection,
and safe travel. These notable features aided the growth and expansion of the empire. The Mongols
conquest left a trail of blood and destruction. For a century, the Mongol Empire cultivated for the
first–time East–West contact. I will further discuss the primary sources and secondary sources of the
Mongol Empire. The Mongols encouraged trade and often moved craftsmen and other specialists
from one place to another. Trade was essential to the Mongols, they started issuing a paizi (modern–
day passports) to government officials, foreigners they traded with, and the nobles who would travel
along the Mongol territory. The Mongol Empire encouraged a wider distribution of good and idea,
so officials made sure the travel routes were as safe as possible. In addition, commodities such as
silk could be purchased at lower prices because the cost of travel and security decreased. The
primary reason for these passports was to ensure safety along the trade routes of the Mongol empire.
The paizi is a metal plaque made of iron and silver inlay, it had to worn around the neck, so it was

The Roman Empire And The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire was the successor of the Roman Empire during the time period of Late
Antiquity and the Medieval Ages. The Byzantine Empire was also called Eastern Roman Empire, so
this proves that it was a continuation of the Roman Empire, but they were speaking Greek, and did
not forget about the Greek tradition. According to Browning, the physicians during the Byzantine
Empire like Oreibasios, who was "the Emperor Julian's physician and friend", use the scientific and
old version of Greek medicine to treat patients, and this means that medical doctors did not forget
about their Greek roots. Starting from Basil I, a Byzantine Emperor between 867 and 886, the
Byzantine Empire entered its Golden Age, and according to Browning, Basil I established a very
good Empire time that would last two centuries with his precious energy and rules. After decades,
this Golden Age began to give place to decline because, according to Browning, within the eleventh
century, the attitudes and the thoughts that were primitive, spoilt, and lack of imagination of the
future of the Empire began to become strong among the aristocratic society, and this began to harm
Byzantine's economic and military power. This kind of harm to the centralized government of the
Byzantine Empire did not show itself as a poisonous snake till 1060 because the Empire could not
function itself as usual. Therefore, the enemies of the Byzantine Empire took an advantage of this

Roman Empire Vs Greek Empire
The Roman Empire versus the Greek Empire
Introduction
The Greece and the Roman empires are considered to be amongst the most powerful empires in
history as their impact is still felt some 2000 years after they were conquered. The Greece Empire is
said to have lasted for approximately 350 years while the Roman Empire is said to have lasted for
between 500 and 1500 years based on how one interprets the rule of the Romans (Ahbel–Rappe
530). Over time, there has been a debate on which of the two empires was strong than the other
based on the impacts to the ancient world. From the debates, it has been noted that some individuals
hold on to the fact that the Romans managed to develop a world that the Greeks only dreamed about
while others have maintained that the Greeks had built a better world than the Romans (Roisman
410). Based on my knowledge of the two empires, I think the Romans were better than the Greeks
thus making the Greeks to dream of building a world similar to that of Romans. As such, this paper
will give points for and against my claim.
Why the Greeks dreamt of the Roman World
There are some reasons that are given to explain why the Greeks dreamt of having what the Romans
had built over time. Firstly, it is important to note that the Greeks are the people who invented
philosophy and science. On the other hand, despite having great philosophers and scientists, the
Romans produced engineers, administrators, and architects, unlike the Greeks. As a result of this,

The Empire Of The Persian Empire
There are certain events that are significant enough to create a chain of events that end up resulting
in a huge change. The leader of the Persian realm named Cyrus was able to gain much territory after
a ruler from Lydia named Croesus attempted to provoke Cyrus. Winter was approaching and
Croesus was expecting Cyrus to retreat while he retreating back to his capital at Sardis. After, Cyrus
was able to invade and take Sardis successfully. This victory over Lydia was significant in aiding the
development and expansion of the Persian empire. There were important social, economic, and
cultural implications due to the organization of classical Persian empire territories. There was a rise

Cyrus was mortally wounded, which resulted in him unable to get to Egypt. Egypt at that time was
the largest and wealthiest state outside his control. Even though Cyrus did not live, his son
Cambyses gained control of Egypt while obtaining its wealth. Darius ruled after Cambyses and was
one of the greatest Achaemenids. Darius centralized his administration and built a capital with much
magnificence at Persepolis. Later, Persepolis served as the nerve center of the Persian Empire.
Darius divided his territory into twenty–three administrative and taxation districts or satrapies. The
political stability of The Persian society made it possible for public projects. They were able to
increase agricultural production by constructing underground canals or qanat. The Achaemenids had
a difficult time with the Greeks. Alexander of Macedon conquered Persia with his military force
having sophisticated tactics.
After the Achaemenids, came the Seleucids, the Parthians, and the Sasanids. The Seleucids founded
new cities that later would stimulated trade and economic development. The Parthians were lords of
an empire in Iran. The Parthians did not have a centralized government; however, they did have a
federation of leaders in councils. The Parthians revolted against the Seleucid overlord. The Parthians

The Differences Of The Roman Empire And The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire was a vast powerful empire dating from 330–1453. The capital was
Constantinople (modern–day Istanbul), first known as Byzantium. To begin with, the Roman Empire
was split up into two halves by Emperor Diocletian in A.D. 285. The empire was divided into the
Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire (The Byzantine Empire). The Eastern
Roman Empire was similar to the Western Roman Empire but had some prime differences. These
differences included language, acceptance of Christianity, and influences from Middle Eastern along
with Greek Culture. During most of the Eastern Roman Empire's existence, it was the political,
military, and financial powerhouse of Europe. When Justinian I (Widely known as Justinian)

This shows that Justinian is a vicious bloodthirsty man, who did not value the lives of his citizens.
Justinian ruled such as Roman emperors Nero and Caligula in the fact that he was mentally
disturbed and unhinged. He ruled parallel to those emperors because he was bloodthirsty and had no
limits to his extreme tyranny. "He recklessly killed all who dissented, and this too he did in the name
of piety. For he did not call it homicide when those who perished happened to be of a belief that was
different from his own." This is another excerpt from the Secret History by Procopius. It once again
shows that Justinian had no limits to what he viewed as acceptable, ruthlessly murdering all who
stood in his way. Justinian had no limits, as did many Roman emperors. Roman emperors such as
Tiberius, Caligula and, Nero. The last two out of three had an extreme authoritarianism, making the

earth ran red with the blood of nearly all the Romans and the barbarians. Such were the results of the
wars throughout the whole Empire. During this time. But the civil strife in Constantinople and in

For many years, the Roman Empire was considered the most dominant empire ever, but they were
easily passed by the Mongolian Empire hundreds of years later. The Mongols were a vast Empire
spread all across Asia and become dominant under the ruling of Genghis Khan, and the Romans
were a vast Empire spread across Europe. The Mongols first started in 1279 and a huge line of
successors was born, each leading their empire to greatness. They were able to build a huge empire
and dictatorship and conquer most of Asia with their superior armies. The Romans first started in 27
BC under the rule of Augustus and created a line of successors along with a Republic. They were
also able to conquer parts of Africa and most of Europe, until they could not handle the power and
were defeated in 476 C.E. The Mongols were a more dominant empire than the Romans because
they had a more stable government and a more dominant army.
The Mongolian Empire was able to create a stable government that worked well for them and also
used that government to achieve a lot. Genghis Khan granted religious freedom, abolished torture,
encouraged trade and created the first international postal system (GENGHIS KHAN). The
Mongolian dictatorship was able to do such amazing things with their government. They were able

The Roman Empire : The Structure Of The Roman Empire
The Structure of the Roman Empire
The Roman Empire is regarded as one of the largest, if not the largest, civilization ever recorded in
history. In 45BC, Julius Caesar took over as the first dictator of Rome after he defeated Pompey in a
civil war which marked the end of the Roman Republic. In the quest to bring back the republic,
Julius Caesar was assassinated By Brutus in 44BC. This however did not bring back the republic but
lead to another civil war. Augustus Caesar took over in 27BC as the first emperor and this marked
the beginning of the Roman Empire. This essay aims at explaining the whole structure of the Roman
Empire in both economic and political sense.
During his reign, Augustus restored the public monuments, the Temples of God being among the
first on the list. He also sponsored the construction of other monuments meant to protect the Roman
pride. He was appointed as the high priest after reviving priesthood; this gave him both the secular
and religious leadership authorities. As part of his religious reforms, he reintroduced the Lustrum
ceremony, Lupercalia festival and other past ceremonies and festivals (Peter and Saller, 2014). He
also established a cult which worshipped the Emperor as their god. After a few decades, this cult had
spread throughout most of the empire. He did all these with the hope of restoring the traditional
Roman religion.

The Narrasian Empire : The Success Of The Persian Empire
The question is not what empire was the most successful but how did they do it. An empire is a
kingdom is so powerful that they can conquer the kingdoms around them who have different
cultures and it becomes multi–ethnic. The Persian empire is said by many to be by far the most
successful. They are known for many different things including creating the road system and
shaping what we know today as the middle east. There are many different reasons the Persians were
able to grow to control so much land and be so large. The basis of the Persian empire's great success
was built on six major elements; Administration, communication, integration, religion, local culture
and lastly, their military. The element of administration comes from Darius I, he took control
eventually after Cyrus II who built the Persian empire, he was a brilliant conquer and he understood
how to run the empire. Darius, I he took over and made the Persian empire into a functioning
organization. He was well known for his love of bureaucracy. He created a set of laws for all of
Persia to abide by but he created a system of states within this with one of his people in charge of
each along with other locals. He allowed the states to create their own local laws, therefore it would
differ depending on what state you resided in. The best example to further explain this idea would
be the way that Jewish people had control on their local law even though they abided to Persia's

Achaemenid Persia was one of the first and the greatest empires of the Fertile Crescent and beyond,
as such, they would come into contact with diverse groups of people, one of which is the Jews of
Judea. The Persian Empire is one of the few empires depicted in the Tanach, or Hebrew Bible, as
favorable. This being so, it can still be difficult to assert who the Persians, their kings, and their land
were in the eyes of the Jews. The stories and depictions of the kings and land do not always agree on
the matter and differ on how much detail is given. Persians during the time they ruled Judea have
few records of who the Jews were and what they did in the borders of the empire. From what is
found, it is still possible to gleam whom the Jews and their land were in the eyes of the kings of
Persia.
The depiction of Persia, namely that of the Achaemenid dynasty, has largely been favorable in the
Tanach. They are presented in the Books of Esther, Daniel, Ezra/Nehemiah, Chronicles, and Isaiah
as agents of G–d to preserve the nation of Israel. Yet despite on this commonality they differ on the
details. The Book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish girl named Esther and the possibility of the
genocide of the Jews. The Book of Daniel tells the story of the rise to power of the Medes and

The Empire Of The Seljuk Ottoman Empire
One of the small Turkish nomadic tribes in Anatolia during the 13th century was a dynasty named
after the ruler Osman, the Ottomans. This small state emerged in Anatolia during the breakdown of
the empire of the Seljuk Turks. The Ottomans quickly became an undeniable force and ended all
other Turkish dynasties. The Ottoman Empire became one of the largest and longest lasting empires
in the world, ruling the majority of the Middle East, northern Africa and southeastern Europe for
over 600 years until its eventual fall in 1922.
The Ottomans were one of the numbers of Turkish tribes that migrated from Central Asia. Initially
they followed a primitive shamanistic religion. Their contacts with various tribes led to the
introduction of Islam and they acquired their greatest combat tradition, that of the ghazi warrior. The
first period of the Ottoman history was characterized by almost continuous territorial expansion. The
Ottoman dominion spread out from a small Anatolian principality to cover a major amount of land
in Middle East and southeastern Europe.

dynasty, led his principality to take over Byzantine Bithynia in northwestern Anatolia, commanded

The Byzantium Empire was the Eastern addition to the Roman Empire during the Late Antiquity
and The Middle Ages. Established in the Ancient Greek city Byzantion in 330 AD by the Roman
Emperor Constantine as the new imperial capital of Rome. Furthermore, he had added duplicates of
everything from Old Rome, such as the Coliseum and the Imperial Palace, not including the Pagan
temples. The Byzantines had spoken Greek and had more Greek architecture and culture than
Roman. The Byzantium Empire had survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th
century AD. Byzantine was able to remain for a thousand years before subsequently in 1453 falling
to the Ottoman Turks. The Byzantium empire was a phenomenal empire lasting almost 1,200 years,
it had survived all the other great empires. Much more impressive than age was the influence and
reach the empire had had on civilization. Christianity, literacy, beginnings of art, literature, and
architecture from the Russians, Serbs, and the Bulgarians came from the inspiration of the
Byzantines in a variable degree. Up until the eleventh century, Byzantine was a dominant power, but
by the mid–eleventh century, the Byzantines were faced with an eastern invasion from the recently

The Mongol Empire And The Impact Of The Mongol Empire
Revised paper proposal and bibliography
The Mongol empire was one the greatest empires of all time expanding all over Central Asia.
Bordering Chinese states, the Khwarazmian empire, present day Afghanistan, Siberia, Iran, and
many more, at its height the mongol empire was over 20,000,000 square kilometers. This was all
possible due to extraordinary men in Central Asia, ruled by Genghis khan emperor of the Mongol
empire. These Asian nomads along with their fearless and intelligent leader, flourished against
numerous odds impacting all those whom they waged war against. A recipient of this 'impact' in
particular was Russia. It was around 1219 when the Mongols first entered the Kievan Russia
marking the beginning of the interactions of the two. With the Mongols rise in establishing one of
the largest contiguous empire in history and having Russia only distances away the collision of the
two were inevitable. As history shows this collision did happen in the year 1236 which marked the
beginning of great impact that the Mongols would have on the Russian empire culturally, politically,
and economically.

The Roman Empire And The Byzantine Empire
After reading the text book about the Roman Empire. I found that the Roman Empire was divided
into two parts. The Western half, ruled by Rome, fell to the tribal Germanic peoples in the 5th
century. The Eastern half, known as the Byzantine Empire, until it began to decline in power, the
Byzantine Empire was one of the leading civilizations in the world. The first Christian emperor
became sole ruler of the Roman Empire. He set up his colony of Byzantium. The city, renamed
Constantinople after its founder, It became the capital of the Byzantines after the Roman Empire
was formally divided.
The eastern is differed from the western in many aspects. During the Hellenistic civilization, some
elements dating back to the conquests of Alexander the Great, showing more urban, and richer than
the West, and its emperors, who in the Hellenistic tradition combined political and religious
functions, had firmer control over all classes of society. They also were more skillful in defending
off invaders, through warfare and diplomacy. With the Byzantine emperors, who still considered
themselves Romans, and support the dream of control the barbarian kingdoms of the West and join
up the empire.
The greatest of these emperors was Justinian who prepared for the conquest by defeating the
Persians on the eastern frontier and divided the Roman Catholic church. The weakened of his

Compare And Contrast The American Empire And Ottoman Empire

  • 1. Compare And Contrast The American Empire And Ottoman Empire Throughout history there has been times when empire building and expansion were very popular. During the Early Modern Era, from 1450–1750, this occurred a lot. The European, Russian, Chinese, Mughal and, Ottoman empires were all being built around the same time. An empire is a group of states or countries under one supreme ruler. When the empire is divided by an ocean or has part of it distant from the other, the part away from the mainland is known as a colony and the homeland is the Mother Country. This took place many times during this time period when the Americas were first discovered by people native to the Eastern Hemisphere. Between 1450 and 1750 AD, the European, and the Russian, Chinese, Mughal and Ottoman empires were similar ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The European empires colonized the Americas, so they had to cross the Atlantic ocean to get there. This gave them more goods to trade with because the Americas had different natural resources than Europe and Asia. The empires without colonies had faster trade because there wasn't that great distance but the new things they needed they got from the empires with colonies in the Americas. The empires with the colonies in America had the advantage. The European Empires were also different from the Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman Empires in that Europe hurt the unintentionally natives of the land they took over while the other empires did not. Since Europe was building empires in another continent, many things would be different. A major difference was the immune systems of the people. The europeans had immunities to certain diseases such as bubonic plague, pneumonic plague,, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, and tuberculosis, because they had been exposed to them before. Since the Native Americans were never exposed to them, they never built immunities. When the Europeans came to the Americans they carried the diseases without knowing. Making majority of the population sick. Tribe after tribe they died because they could not fight these diseases. This clearly made more room for the Europeans but in a tragic way. Similarly, the European Empires were different from the Russian, Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman Empires in their reasonings for expansion. Europe expanded across the Atlantic Ocean because they were geographically at an advantage. They had access to this new land the for the other places to get to it would either take too long or they would physically have to go through the European's land to get there. They had this advantage and took it ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

They influenced modern decisions and they were a very advance civilization in that age. The Roman emperor Constantine and his successor moved the Capital to the Eastern Mediterranean and they rebuilt the city called Byzantium and called it Constantinople. The empire grew out to the Middle East and to Northern Africa. The Eastern side of the Roman empire became too known as the Byzantine empire. The empire held its power for 500 years after it collapsed. There are a lot of reasons why the empire fell and one of them are that they were attacked by barbaric tribes like the Goths. The roman empire also fell because they overly relied on peasants who were the farmers and the soldiers in the military. The roman empire was also attacked by the Arabs in the 600s and the 700s and overall these 3 reasons were one of the few reasons why the roman empire came to an end. Even if the roman empire fell it impacted the world a lot even to this day the ideas they made are still being used. There are a lot of reasons why people should study about the Byzantine era and one of them are that they were skilled and very advanced in military and in economic power for back then. They had a very different approach to military as the peasants formed the backbone of the empire as they were the ones basically doing everything.

  • 17. The Mongol Empire And The Empire I was watching my cousin play Fallout Shelter, and he said that the things that are needed for a safe and long–lasting shelter is charisma, agility, strength, and perception. These four words best describe an innovative kingdom, and the kingdom that best fit all these words was the Mongol Empire, the mightiest and biggest Empire in the world. Mongols were nomads from north of the Gobi Desert. They were first ruled by Genghis Khan, which means "Universal Ruler". Temuchin, which is Genghis ' birth name, lived a rough early life. His father was poisoned by an enemy. When older, he decided to unite all the Mongol clans under one empire, making him one of the most powerful people of all time (BK Essay). The Mongol empire lasted for only 40 years, 1260–1300 A.D (Doc 1). Since then and before then, there hasn 't been an empire so big, with so many advances. Even though there were many destructions throughout the process of the making of the Mongol Empire, they should be remembered as an innovative empire because it was the biggest empire in the world and still managed to be prosperous, it was tolerant towards all races/religions and people and knew how to protect it, and last, but not least, it made it 's own government and its own way of governing it.

  • 21. The Dispoman Empire : The Fall Of The Roman Empire The Roman Empire was once an empire that nobody could contend with once they had taken out the Carthaginians. It was a place of virtue, art, culture, and money. There was nobody better than Rome in the world. But eventually they were doing nothing at all, they weren't conquering, culture wasn't thriving, virtues were lost, politics were unstable, and the empire was split into two: the Western and Eastern Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire suffered the biggest part of this blow before eventually falling. The Western Roman Empire fell because of military decline, economic problems, disease, political instability/corruption. The Roman military was once the best army, and could easily fend off barbarians. But as a result of civil war, economic problems and diseases their military was declining. Beginning with the reign of Hadrian, the Romans had their troops stationed on their borders to combat barbarian threats. They were intended to be impenetrable, so the emperors had no central reserve force(Ferrill, The Fall of the Roman Empire: The military explanation, 25). This was called preclusive security. As Ferrill said, "Their superb military organization and disciplined tactics made it possible for them to defeat northern barbarians even when the Roman army was greatly outnumbered"(26) This shows that the preclusive security strategy was very effective, although they were spread fairly thin. But there was a flaw, if the barbarians got through the border defenses, they could ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 25. The Maurya Empire And The Mughal Empire The two most expansive empires to exist on the subcontinent of India are the Maurya Empire which dominated ancient India from 322 BCE to 187 BCE and the Mughal Empire which had control from 1526 to 1857 until the British Raj took over. Although these empires existed almost two thousand years apart, they have a great deal in common including what made them such successful and far– reaching political forces, and maintain differences like what succeeded them after their downfalls. The Mauryan Empire is considered to be one of the most successful of its time. At its zenith it spanned nearly 2 million square miles and boasted a population of about 60 million, making it the largest Indian empire in history and one of the most populated empires of Antiquity. This was not unlike the Mughal Empire, whose reach was upwards of 1.5 million square miles with a population of over 158 million in 1700. When viewed on a map, the kingdoms are nearly identical in geographical span, occupying the vast majority of what is now India and Afghanistan. While both dynasties expanded their empires, the Mauryan dynasty's expansion was far more significant than that of the Mughal which is better known for unifying kingdoms within the Indian subcontinent after taking control from the Delhi Sultanate. The most famed ruler of the Maurya Empire was Ashoka who took over the empire in 272 BCE after the death of his father, Bindusara.

  • 29. The Ottoman Empire : The Fall Of The Ottoman Empire The Ottoman Empire was one of the greatest empires to ever reign in history. It is widely recognized as being one of the most advanced and inclusive empires especially in the first half of its existence. The Ottomans were ahead of the Europeans in just about every aspect of civilization for a few centuries. They were constantly defeating the militaries of the Europeans until the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The Ottomans were a formidable force in the area for a long period of time. In the nineteenth century, the Ottomans had realized that they had fallen far behind the Europeans economically, socially, and militarily. The documentary, The Ottomans: Europe's Muslim Emperors discusses this. They describe the Ottoman Empire as "This was an empire on an life support system, an old world dynasty colliding with a modern world." The Ottomans saw they were behind and enacted many decrees, that became known as the Tanzimat or the reorganization of the Ottoman Empire in a literal translation. The Tanzimat reorganizations were too little, too late. The Tanzimat failed because of its inability to fix their outdated systems and to create a strong constitution to keep their changes in place. For instance, the Ottoman Empire to assimilate to the Europeans. The first of these was when Sultan Abdülmecid began to westernize the palace.

The Byzantine Empire : The Fall Of The Roman Empire My chosen topic is looking at the fall of the Roman Empire and the reasons for the fall, including looking at the reasons for the split in the Empire in c. 312– 395 CE and how the eastern half managed to survive for so much longer before finally falling. I am interested in these areas as before when learning about the Roman Empire we never cover that it had broken in two and I was also interested to learn that the Byzantine Empire was what remained of the Roman Empire, we also never explored how the empire ended, just that the Empire fell and consequently Europe went into the Dark Ages. The fall is mainly attributed to the weakness of the Roman army against the surrounding tribes, these tribes were growing stronger and looking to expand eventually managing to invade the city of Rome and kill the last Emperor; Romulus Augusts, however his death was only the end result of the many factors that lead to the weakening of the Empire. It led only to the fall of the western Roman Empire, the later named Byzantine Empire lasted until the 15th Century. Another reason I chose this topic was because I was interested in impact that Christianity had on the Roman Empire, especially in seeing how Christianity rose from being persecuted to becoming the main religion of the Empire. Additionally, I also wanted to explore any possible correlation between the rise of Christianity and the fall of the Empire. That is the reason that Christianity is the factor in my question as while I believe ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 37. The Empire Of The Persian Empire Extending from Egypt to northern Central Asia, the Persian empire was one of the most immense empires that the ancient world had seen. Its emergence began in 550 B.C, once Cyrus the Great who had recently come into power conquered his northern neighbor, the Medes, giving him access to the reserves of gold and silver that were buried in the Zagros Mountains. Encouraged by his conquest of the Medes, he captured Babylon and then advanced through Asia Minor to the Mediterranean Sea. He later united the Persians, allowing him to create the Persian Empire, also known as the Achaemenid empire. With access to the Mediterranean seaports, the Persians gained control of the wealth of the ancient world from the regions, allowing them to built a vast and prosperous empire. Although Cyrus is partially known for being a great conqueror, he is most importantly recognized as a pioneer of human rights. To manage his boundless empire he divided newly conquered territories into provinces which helped him rule freely. Even after his death, leaders like Darius I adopted his influential techniques allowing them to maintain the expansive Persian Empire. Although the Persians established their vast empires through sanguinary battles, they remained successful and continued to influence other empires for years because of their tolerant nature and organized society.

The Rise Of Empires : The Fall Of The Roman Empire The Roman Empire was a time when the government was ruled by emperors and there were boarders around that distinguished which land belong to the Romans and which did not. It encompassed the coastland and people of three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. Many like to remember it was "the last and greatest of the Hellenistic empires, with all of the cultural variety that the term connotes" (Andrea & Overfield, 2014, p. 300). Because of the characterization of "The Fall of the Roman Empire" many have had a misconception of it. It did not collapse, what happened was that it was a work in process that seemed to have caught up. There are many causes to the fall of the Roman Empire. The lands that were ruled in by the Roman Empire began to embrace new cultures and over a period there was new civilizations that were formed: Byzantium, Western (or Latin) Europe, and Islam. Because of these knew civilizations, there was a lot of change that was going to come to Europe. The Byzantium and Western Europe civilizations were two of Rome's Christian faith heirs. The Roman Empire was of Christian faith and when the civilizations were formed, they took with them the faith and let it be carried about into the future. Rome was founded by two brothers Romulus and Remus. It is legend that the brothers were raised by wolves. What is the Roman Empire? The Roman Empire began in 27 B.C.

Established in the Ancient Greek city Byzantion in 330 AD by the Roman Emperor Constantine as the new imperial capital of Rome. Furthermore, he had added duplicates of everything from Old Rome, such as the Coliseum and the Imperial palace, not including the Pagan temples. The Byzantines had spoken Greek and had more Greek architecture and culture than Roman. The Byzantium Empire had survived the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. Byzantine was able to remain for a thousand years before subsequently in 1453 falling to the Ottoman Turks. The Byzantium empire was a phenomenal empire lasting almost 1,200 years, it had survived all the other great empires. Much more impressive than age, was the influence and reach the empire had had on civilization. Christianity, literacy, beginnings of art, literature, and architecture from the Russians, Serbs, and the Bulgarians came from the inspiration of the Byzantines in a variable degree. Up until the eleventh century Byzantine was a dominant power, but by the mid eleventh century the Byzantines were faced with an eastern invasion from the recently converted Muslim Seljuk Turks.

  • 53. The Spanish Empire, And The Empire Of The Portuguese Empire Portugal: In existence for nearly six centuries, the Portuguese Empire was one of the largest and longest–lived empires in the world and the first colonial empire of the Renaissance. Portugal's colonization style followed two basic patterns: in Asia, the Portuguese conquered cities, then monopolize trade; whereas in Africa and the Americas, they occupied expansive territories where European political organization was imposed on existing indigenous societies. The royal crown withheld strict control of justice, fortified by the authority of royal agents; in this system natives were rarely if ever given any mechanism for self–governance in their own lands. Hence, the crown created colonial institutions endowed with vague jurisdictions intended to act as a check–and– balance system for each other. Although this strategy worked to solidify Portuguese presence and establish dominance across the globe, the recurring approvals and consultations required by the monarchical administrative procedure hindered Portuguese efficiency and rule for its far–reaching empire, especially for immediate concerns like military threats. Instead of a strong empire with precise and defined areas of responsibility, the superpower worked through a precarious arrangement of vertical and horizontal surveillance among officials as a means of defending their supreme authority. This framework eventually led to a rather weak centralized empire in which the intermediate levels of authority oversaw day–to–day ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Persian Empire : The Success Of The Persian Empire Terrance Green December 7, 2017 World Civilization I Dr. Yergler Paper Assignment #1 There are many reasons in which the Persian empire is considered one of the greatest civilizations ever in human history and this can mostly be attributed to the stupendous leadership of the one and only Cyrus the great. One of the best kings that the world has ever seen and was the most dominant man in his era. He was brilliant and extremely powerful as he was smart and strong enough to conquer almost every single land within his area and put them all together into one persian empire. The legacy that Cyrus left behind him was one that every king after him tried to follow. For example, emperor Darius I still continued the expansion of the persian empire and reigned control over it as well. After Cyrus died there was a time in which there was nothing but trash rulers and then Darius I came into power. As I stated earlier Darius wanted to follow in the steps of Cyrus and be even greater than him so Darius builded on what Cyrus achieved and split the persian empire into multiple provinces to control the government a little easier. Another thing that made persia so successful was the fact that they tolerated non–Persian folks to live in their empire. There were many different types of people all across persia and the government did not force anything upon these non–Persian residents and let them live their lives how they had before arriving and they only had to pay taxes. Due to this the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Buildings were made of beautiful marble; some pieces still stand. Patricians lived lavish lives and certain leaders made the Empire amazing. Rome was a role model of all the civilizations coming after it. But as many great things do, this place of many achievements and advances had a slow and gradual fall. There are many reasons why this empire fell but there are a few that standout. The hardships that the Romans encountered including a declining military and the terrible high taxes caused Rome's fall to occur. An important factor that contributed in the process of Rome's fall was the declining military and the many invaders. Within an excerpt by Indro Montanelli, it says, "The Roman army [was] composed entirely of Germans" (Doc. 5). There were no longer Romans as the Empire was barely expanding. The Romans were once great and exemplar in war but those days were no longer possible to recreate. In the Human Legacy textbook, it states, "As new peoples began to move west from Central Asia, however, they pushed these Germanic tribes into the empire" (190). The result of this happening was something that the legions thought would make Rome crumble on it's own. This is a significant thing to happen because these Germans fleeing into Rome caused a domino effect. It was madness; the Huns, the Visigoths and Vandals were groups that all attacked Rome and lead it to it's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Safavid Empire was strengthened by soldiers from the Ottoman army who had fled from persecution of the Ottoman Empire. The Empire started to decline when it became corrupt. The Safavid Empire was strong in power within its early years due to its ability to conquer new territory. However the huge downfall from these actions of conquering more and more land was the Safavids inability to protect all of the new land they were conquering. Due to this, the military forces became less effective and weak. The Empire became corrupt with its switch to become a Republic in the eighteenth century.

However there have been civilizations that climbed to the top of the metaphorical food chain and stayed there and influenced not only their region but the world for countless millennium even after they were no longer a functioning empire. Two such empires were the Roman Empire and the Persian Empire. The first factor to consider when thinking of successful empires would be geographical location. The second factor would have to be the leadership, and the third would have to be the method in which the empire expands. All of these factors are what makes a small civilization with great potential a formidable empire that lasts longer than a lifetime. The best place to the start has been and will always be the beginning. The beginning in this case is the earth, the geographical qualities that a land holds can do wonders for the way a civilization not only defends themselves but how they develop agriculturally and socially. A geographical location that is open and allows trades with neighboring societies can promote a sense of community that leads to less fighting and more diplomatic solutions, while a more isolated society may believe that other civilizations can only be destroyed, conquered, and their people sold into slavery.

Then in 476, Odoacer became the first Barbarian king of Western Rome and marked the end of the once so great empire which was split into two. The West was now ruled by Barbarians, while the East was formed into the Byzantine Empire. Some historians believe that the fall of the Roman Empire was inevitable. Other historians believe that it was not inevitable. With an empire that big, religion splitting a country into two, and other problems inside the city of Rome. The fall of the Western Roman Empire was inevitable and was bound to happen. First of all, the sheer size of the Roman Empire was off the charts. During Rome's peak, Roman land expanded from York to the Euphrates river. It was almost four million square miles in length. The Roman empire had over fifty million people and the army had grown to 400,000 soldiers by the year 200. There were several trade links and roads throughout the empire. The empire was being ran off of pure Romanization, determination, toleration, and the empire had coded a Roman Law.

Using their fighting skills they conquered the Middle Easy, Song China, eastern Europe, and much of Southeast Asia. After Genghis died his children ruled the empire. Their empire lasted 130 years before finally falling to the Ming dynasty. One of the crucial reasons the Mongols could keep their empire together was because they had laws with punishments to keep order. They created a law book called the Yasa. It governed the social and legal behavior of the Mongol tribes as well as the people of those lands under Mongols control. The Great Yasa was very different from other laws in history. With the Yasa they had a clear way to punish rule breakers, and they had a set of laws that did not change. The Yasa made people rethink their choices because they knew if they broke the law, there was going to be punishment for them. The Yasa helped keep order in the empire which lessened the chance of people wanting to riot against them. With order in China they wouldn't have any problems ruling.

The British Empire's presence lasted for nearly four hundred years, through various external and internal conflicts that threatened the country's resources, people, colonies, and more. The British Empire rose due to a number of different activities done by the British, consisting primarily from its economic strategies, its colonization methods, its military prowess and cultural conversion of natives.

Originally, these companies were controlled by investor funds, and did not have much, if any government control.

Its culture was compiled upon the teachings of Confucius and ancestor worship. Meanwhile in the west, the Romans solidified their authority as being a dominant force in the Mediterranean. Both the Roman Empire and the Han Empire were similar in their governments as they both supported a centralized government. On the other hand, they were different in the manner of how they dealt with foreigners and outside visitors. Although the Han Empire and the Roman Empire were alike, there are more differences between them than similarities. One difference between the two empires were their treatment with foreigners. The Hans believed that they had no need for them to be included within the Empire. However, this was not the case for the Romans. The Roman Empire would accept outsiders and tolerate them. The Empire treated the foreigners well– even to the extent of making them citizens. During this time however, the Romans did not have enough people to go to war. This led them into giving the barbarians jobs in the military. Soon, there were so many foreign soldiers to the degree that almost 70% of the entire army were barbarians. The reason why the Hans looked down upon the barbarians was because the Hans thought that the barbarians were inferior.

For a century, the Mongol Empire cultivated for the first–time East–West contact. I will further discuss the primary sources and secondary sources of the Mongol Empire. The Mongols encouraged trade and often moved craftsmen and other specialists from one place to another. Trade was essential to the Mongols, they started issuing a paizi (modern– day passports) to government officials, foreigners they traded with, and the nobles who would travel along the Mongol territory. The Mongol Empire encouraged a wider distribution of good and idea, so officials made sure the travel routes were as safe as possible. In addition, commodities such as silk could be purchased at lower prices because the cost of travel and security decreased. The primary reason for these passports was to ensure safety along the trade routes of the Mongol empire.

The Byzantine Empire was also called Eastern Roman Empire, so this proves that it was a continuation of the Roman Empire, but they were speaking Greek, and did not forget about the Greek tradition. According to Browning, the physicians during the Byzantine Empire like Oreibasios, who was "the Emperor Julian's physician and friend", use the scientific and old version of Greek medicine to treat patients, and this means that medical doctors did not forget about their Greek roots. Starting from Basil I, a Byzantine Emperor between 867 and 886, the Byzantine Empire entered its Golden Age, and according to Browning, Basil I established a very good Empire time that would last two centuries with his precious energy and rules. After decades, this Golden Age began to give place to decline because, according to Browning, within the eleventh century, the attitudes and the thoughts that were primitive, spoilt, and lack of imagination of the future of the Empire began to become strong among the aristocratic society, and this began to harm Byzantine's economic and military power.

The Greece Empire is said to have lasted for approximately 350 years while the Roman Empire is said to have lasted for between 500 and 1500 years based on how one interprets the rule of the Romans (Ahbel–Rappe 530). Over time, there has been a debate on which of the two empires was strong than the other based on the impacts to the ancient world. From the debates, it has been noted that some individuals hold on to the fact that the Romans managed to develop a world that the Greeks only dreamed about while others have maintained that the Greeks had built a better world than the Romans (Roisman 410).

In 45BC, Julius Caesar took over as the first dictator of Rome after he defeated Pompey in a civil war which marked the end of the Roman Republic. In the quest to bring back the republic, Julius Caesar was assassinated By Brutus in 44BC. This however did not bring back the republic but lead to another civil war. Augustus Caesar took over in 27BC as the first emperor and this marked the beginning of the Roman Empire. This essay aims at explaining the whole structure of the Roman Empire in both economic and political sense.

As part of his religious reforms, he reintroduced the Lustrum ceremony, Lupercalia festival and other past ceremonies and festivals (Peter and Saller, 2014). He also established a cult which worshipped the Emperor as their god. After a few decades, this cult had spread throughout most of the empire.

The Persian empire is said by many to be by far the most successful. They are known for many different things including creating the road system and shaping what we know today as the middle east. There are many different reasons the Persians were able to grow to control so much land and be so large. The basis of the Persian empire's great success was built on six major elements; Administration, communication, integration, religion, local culture and lastly, their military. The element of administration comes from Darius I, he took control eventually after Cyrus II who built the Persian empire, he was a brilliant conquer and he understood how to run the empire. Darius, I he took over and made the Persian empire into a functioning organization. He was well known for his love of bureaucracy.

The Persian Empire is one of the few empires depicted in the Tanach, or Hebrew Bible, as favorable. This being so, it can still be difficult to assert who the Persians, their kings, and their land were in the eyes of the Jews. The stories and depictions of the kings and land do not always agree on the matter and differ on how much detail is given. Persians during the time they ruled Judea have few records of who the Jews were and what they did in the borders of the empire. From what is found, it is still possible to gleam whom the Jews and their land were in the eyes of the kings of Persia.

Much more impressive than age was the influence and reach the empire had had on civilization. Christianity, literacy, beginnings of art, literature, and architecture from the Russians, Serbs, and the Bulgarians came from the inspiration of the Byzantines in a variable degree. Up until the eleventh century, Byzantine was a dominant power, but by the mid–eleventh century, the Byzantines were faced with an eastern invasion from the recently converted Muslim Seljuk Turks. The Turks had in a short amount of time conquered most of Central Asia, including Syria, Iran, all of Mesopotamia, and Palestine. Subsequently, they were also being attacked by the Normans from the west. This resulted ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Empire Notes Empire Niall Ferguson Introduction * To the British, as to people in the rest of the world, imperialism's golden age is now considered a stain on human history, an era of slavery and racism and the plunder of native lands and peoples. The notion that imperialism is inherently evil, and that no empire can be a good empire, is an axiom in today's geopolitics. * Examines the British Empire from an economic perspective, controversially concluding that the British Empire was, on balance, a good thing * Globalisation is the biggest thing that Ferguson thanks the British for * English language and ties to London made it possible * The Leftist opponents of globalisation naturally regard it as no more than the latest ...

Now they ruled supreme' – Notion of imitation, founded on the premise of copying others White Plague * Commerce and conquest by themselves would not have been enough to achieve an Empire no matter what the financial strength or naval power of the British – there had to be colonization * Ferguson is disinclined to believe in the authorised American view of 1776 as a 'struggle for liberty against an evil empire'. * The imperialists were already experimenting with schemes for devolution, and politicians at Westminster imagined that American colonies might settle down into membership of 'a prototype Commonwealth', with the monarch as a unifying figurehead. * The battles across the Atlantic merely extended a conflict at home between Whigs and Tories. 'This,' Ferguson argues, 'really was the second British – or perhaps the first American – Civil War.' * Some myths about the American War of Independence are shattered * Ferguson argues that the 'revolution', contrary to the conventional revisionist modern American narrative of 'freedom' and ...

  • 145. The Empire Of The Persian Empire Achaemenid Persia was one of the first and greatest empires of the Fertile Crescent and beyond, as such, they would come into contact with diverse groups of people, one of which is the Jews of Judea. The Persian Empire is one of the few empires depicted in the Tanach, or Hebrew Bible, as favorable. This being so, it can still be difficult to assert who the Persians, their kings, and their land were in the eyes of the Jews. The stories and depictions of the kings and land do not always agree on the matter and differ on how much detail is given. Persians during the time they ruled Judea have few records of who the Jews were and what they did in the borders of the empire. From what is found, it is still possible to gleam whom the Jews and their land were in the eyes of the kings of Persia. The depiction of Persia, namely that of the Achaemenid dynasty, has largely been favorable in the Tanach. They are presented in the Books of Esther, Daniel, Ezra/Nehemiah, Chronicles, and Isaiah as agents of G–d to preserve the nation of Israel. Yet despite on this commonality they differ on the details. The Book of Esther tells the story of a Jewish girl named Esther and the possibility of the genocide of the Jews. The Book of Daniel tells the story of the rise to power of the Medes and Persians against the Babylonians. The Book of Ezra/Nehemiah tells of how Cyrus the Great was benevolent and permitted the Jews to return to the Land of Israel to rebuild their destroyed temple. The Book of ...

  • 149. The Mongol Empire And The Impact Of The Mongol Empire Revised paper proposal and bibliography The Mongol empire was one the greatest empires of all time expanding all over Central Asia. Bordering Chinese states, the Khwarazmian empire, present day Afghanistan, Siberia, Iran, and many more, at its height the mongol empire was over 20,000,000 square kilometers. This was all possible due to extraordinary men in Central Asia, ruled by Genghis khan emperor of the Mongol empire. These Asian nomads along with their fearless and intelligent leader, flourished against numerous odds impacting all those whom they waged war against. A recipient of this 'impact' in particular was Russia. It was around 1219 when the Mongols first entered the Kievan Russia marking the beginning of the interactions of the two. With the Mongols rise in establishing one of the largest contiguous empire in history and having Russia only distances away the collision of the two were inevitable. As history shows this collision did happen in the year 1236 which marked the beginning of great impact that the Mongols would have on the Russian empire culturally, politically, and economically. Prior to the rise of the Mongol empire and their invasion of Russia, was a time of violence. Mongolia separated by tribes and provinces was a non–unified empire with little impact to Central Asia. Being separated, feuds between provinces of power and money were the reason why Mongolia remained separated. The provinces after a long a grueling process eventually became united by a ...

  • 153. The Roman Empire And The Byzantine Empire After reading the text book about the Roman Empire. I found that the Roman Empire was divided into two parts. The Western half, ruled by Rome, fell to the tribal Germanic peoples in the 5th century. The Eastern half, known as the Byzantine Empire, until it began to decline in power, the Byzantine Empire was one of the leading civilizations in the world. The first Christian emperor became sole ruler of the Roman Empire. He set up his colony of Byzantium. The city, renamed Constantinople after its founder, It became the capital of the Byzantines after the Roman Empire was formally divided. The eastern is differed from the western in many aspects. During the Hellenistic civilization, some elements dating back to the conquests of Alexander the Great, showing more urban, and richer than the West, and its emperors, who in the Hellenistic tradition combined political and religious functions, had firmer control over all classes of society. They also were more skillful in defending off invaders, through warfare and diplomacy. With the Byzantine emperors, who still considered themselves Romans, and support the dream of control the barbarian kingdoms of the West and join up the empire. The greatest of these emperors was Justinian who prepared for the conquest by defeating the Persians on the eastern frontier and divided the Roman Catholic church. The weakened of his empire, preoccupied with internal problems, grew less and less concerned with the West. Although its rulers continued ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
