Rome began as a small city-state on the Tiber River and established a republican system of government with leaders chosen by citizens divided into classes. It eventually occupied all of Italy and much of Europe through its strong army and treatment of conquered peoples. After a period of corruption and fighting, Augustus restored order and established himself as emperor, beginning two centuries of peace and expansion. Rome admired Greek culture and built infrastructure like roads, aqueducts, and legal systems while Christianity grew from a small sect despite persecution to become the dominant religion in Europe.

It then describes the transition to an empire under Julius Caesar and Augustus. The document also outlines the key teachings of Jesus and how Christianity spread despite early persecution. It concludes by examining the economic, military, and political factors that contributed to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Change From Republic To Empire
The document summarizes the transition from Roman Republic to Roman Empire. There was growing disparity between the rich and poor, leading to reforms attempted by the Gracchus brothers which failed. This led to civil war between Marius and Sulla, and the establishment of the First Triumvirate between Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar. Caesar's victories in Gaul increased his power and fame, causing Pompey to oppose him and lead to more civil war. Caesar became dictator for life but was assassinated. This threw Rome into further chaos and civil war until Octavian emerged as the first emperor, taking the name Augustus and establishing the Pax Romana.
Ancient greeceandrome
The toga was the standard garment worn by male citizens in ancient Rome, though it became less common over time due to inconvenience, eventually being replaced as everyday wear by tunics and cloaks; women typically wore a long tunic called a stola along with a shawl-like mantle when going out. Undergarments were minimal, consisting solely of a knee-length undertunic for men and ankle-length one for women and girls.
The roman empire
The Roman Empire spanned from 31 BC to 476 AD, controlling vast territories across Europe, Asia, and Africa and unifying them under a single ruler. It established Latin as a common language and principles of law and order while building great infrastructure projects. Christianity began as a persecuted religion but eventually became the official state religion in 380 AD. However, the Empire faced internal problems as it grew too large and decentralized, with constant warfare and economic issues. It split into Western and Eastern divisions and the Western half ultimately fell when the city of Rome was invaded in 476 AD.
Fall Of Rome
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. It details how Rome grew to become the most powerful empire in Europe through its strong military, establishment of Roman law and democratic republic, and spread of Latin and Roman infrastructure across its territories. However, over time the empire declined due to invasions from outside groups, the rise of a new religion in Christianity, economic troubles, and political instability. This led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, marking the beginning of the Middle Ages in Europe.
Rome- Geography, Republic, Punic wars notes
The ancient Romans originated from three groups - the Latins, Greeks, and Etruscans - who settled the Italian peninsula between 1000-500 BC. The Latins built the original settlement of Rome. In 509 BC, the Romans overthrew their Etruscan kings and established a republic where elected officials governed. Over time, the Romans conquered the Italian peninsula through their organized military. This led to conflicts with the powerful city of Carthage in North Africa in the Punic Wars from 264-146 BC, ultimately resulting in Rome establishing itself as the dominant power in the Mediterranean world.
Pax romana
Hadrian and Constantine were among the best Roman emperors. Hadrian rebuilt structures like the Pantheon and constructed Hadrian's Wall. Constantine reunited the empire under one ruler and founded Constantinople. Commodus, Nero, and Caligula were among the worst. Commodus was a megalomaniac who took no interest in governing. Nero was also a megalomaniac obsessed with the arts who was blamed for the great fire of Rome. Caligula thought he was a god and was vain, cruel, and possibly mentally ill.

Decline and fall of rome
Between 193 CE and 476 CE, the Roman Empire experienced a period of decline and instability. There were numerous civil wars, short-lived emperors that were often murdered, and invasions from groups like the Visigoths that weakened the empire. Emperors like Diocletian and Constantine tried to reform the government and military, but divisions between the Western and Eastern empires further destabilized Rome. The Western Roman Empire finally fell in 476 CE when the last emperor was deposed by Germanic armies.
Rome Republic to Empire
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Roman Empire. It discusses how Rome defeated Carthage in the Punic Wars and began expanding its territory and wealth across the Mediterranean. This led to problems as generals became more powerful than politicians in the Senate, resulting in civil wars. Julius Caesar took advantage of this chaos and was named dictator, but was later assassinated, leading to another civil war won by Octavian, who became the first emperor, Augustus. Under Augustus, Rome entered the Pax Romana, a 207-year period of peace and prosperity during which the empire reached its height before declining.
World History Ch. 5 Section 1 Notes
This document provides an overview of early Greek cultures including the Minoans and Mycenaeans. It discusses that the Minoans established the first civilization in Crete around 3000 BC and engaged in extensive trade. Their civilization declined after a possible volcanic eruption. The Mycenaeans then conquered Crete and established kingdoms on the Greek mainland in the 1400s BC. They developed the first written Greek language. Both cultures declined by 1100 BC and were replaced by independent Greek city-states. The document also summarizes the political systems and importance of mythology in early Greek society.
Pax romana
Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra to become Rome's first emperor, initiating a period of peace and prosperity known as Pax Romana. Under Octavian, renamed Augustus, Rome experienced over 200 years of stability through expanded trade, cultural blending with Greece, and engineering projects. Good emperors like Trajan and Hadrian expanded the empire's borders while others like Marcus Aurelius were philosopher-soldiers, but Commodus' disastrous rule marked the decline of the Pax Romana period.
Founding of Roman Republic - Notes#1
Rome was founded along the Tiber River due to its strategic inland location that provided protection from invaders. In the 8th century BC, the Latins migrated to Italy and united various villages to establish Rome. For a period, Rome was ruled by Etruscan kings who influenced Roman culture. In 509 BC, wealthy nobles overthrew the Etruscan monarchy and established the Roman Republic with a government consisting of the Senate, elected magistrates such as consuls, and citizen assemblies. The Republic expanded through organized military campaigns and policies that granted citizenship and taxes to conquered peoples.

World History Ch. 6 Section 5 Notes
1) The Roman Empire weakened over the 3rd and 4th centuries due to weak emperors, civil wars, a struggling economy, and constant threats of invasion. Diocletian and Constantine attempted reforms, including dividing the empire administratively and establishing a new capital in Constantinople, but they could not solve the fundamental problems.

6.2 - The Roman Empire
Following the Punic Wars, Rome faced demographic problems as wealthy landowners consolidated small farms into large estates, displacing many farmers. Additionally, an influx of slaves provided cheap labor and further displaced farmers. This led to unrest and instability. Julius Caesar rose to power by forming an alliance with Pompey and Crassus known as the First Triumvirate. After conquering Gaul, he was assassinated by senators who feared he wanted to be emperor. This led to the Second Triumvirate between Octavian, Mark Antony, and Lepidus, which saw a power struggle that ended with Octavian defeating Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Octavian became the first Roman emperor, taking the name

Rome: The Early Republic
The early Roman Republic established elected leaders and a system of law instead of a monarchy. When threatened by outside forces, dictators like Cincinnatus were chosen to lead the military with absolute power for temporary periods. Cincinnatus quickly defeated enemies and then immediately resigned and returned to farming, showing his lack of desire for ongoing power and prioritization of his citizen duties. Through constant warfare with neighbors, Rome expanded its territory across the Italian peninsula during this period, incorporating other peoples' lands and establishing itself as a major military power.

Rome notes
Rome was located in a strategic position in central Italy on the Tiber River, allowing it to control the Mediterranean region. It began as a kingdom ruled by Etruscans but overthrew them in the 5th century BCE to establish a republic with a Senate dominated by patricians.

Nationalism in africa and the middle east
Nationalism grew in Africa and the Middle East in response to European colonialism and imperialism. Africans fought against being controlled by European countries and losing their right to vote and land. Segregationist policies in South Africa, like apartheid, aimed to ensure white supremacy through laws that restricted better jobs and living areas to whites only. African nationalism movements emerged seeking unity, independence, and an end to colonial rule, including pan-Africanism, Marcus Garvey's calls for "Africa to Africans," and Egypt gaining independence from Britain in 1922.

Ch 19, 4 new ways of thinking
Laissez-faire economics advocated for minimal government intervention in the economy based on the ideas of Adam Smith. Thomas Malthus believed population growth would outpace food supply, while David Ricardo wrote about an "Iron Law of Wages." Utilitarianism held that laws should maximize happiness for the greatest number. Socialists believed the means of production should be owned collectively rather than privately. Karl Marx viewed socialism as inevitable and realistic in contrast to utopian socialists, laying out his theories in The Communist Manifesto. Marxism later inspired revolutions around the world before declining as people felt stronger national ties than ideological ties to communism.
Social impact of the industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution led to overcrowded and unsanitary conditions in urban areas as people migrated to cities to work in factories and mines. New social classes emerged, including industrial workers who faced long hours, dangerous machinery, pollution, and poor living conditions in overcrowded tenements. While unions were initially banned, worker protests grew, including the Luddites who destroyed machinery. Child labor was also common, with many starting work as young as age 5 to support their families. Some reforms followed, but conditions remained difficult for industrial workers.

Korea and its traditions
Korea's history and culture are linked to those of China and Japan due to its geographical position between the two countries. Korea received influence from China in particular, as the Chinese Han Dynasty established a military colony there in 108 BC, bringing Chinese traditions of government, writing, and farming methods. Over subsequent centuries, three separate kingdoms ruled Korea and Chinese influence continued through cultural exchanges like Buddhism and Confucianism. Korea also improved upon Chinese inventions and spread its own culture to Japan.
