Corruption and the Decline of Rome

Rome is the perfect place to build the empire. Three seas and the Alps in the west, the south and the eastern are defending north to Rome. Rome is a small empire that extends to a long ideal house. Natural resources and trade routes also helped the Roman economy reach a high standard. Industries such as metal processing, agriculture and trade have driven economic development. The origin of Rome began when Romulus first took his people to Italy after burning Troy. Romulus quickly made a wall around the city to protect him and he beat his partner Remus to dominate the city.

However, the elimination of social and political excessive behavior, corruption, civil war, pressure from barbarians, and the political power from Rome to Constantinople resulted in the early decline of Roman power and ultimate collapse I fired the Romans. 344 and eventually to the east and the destruction of Constantinople

There are social problems in Rome, but they can not be regarded as the main factors of the decline of Rome. People regard the emperor as a role model and mentor, but it is not difficult for an emperor who is 11 years old or corrupt and wasting power to imagine how people's morals and values ​​have declined. Some may say that Christianity did not contribute to the decline of Rome. One of the main lessons that Jesus taught is to "turn your face". In other words, if someone hits you on your cheek, you should turn another cheek so that you can also hit that cheek. Roman troops will be slaughtered when all soldiers "turn another cheek" in the battle. This is considered to be an important reason for the decline of the army. At the time of the decline of Rome, many believers even even accepted the rulers to erode Christianity. They adjusted their views on Christianity, and there was no "turning their eyes on another cheek."

As Christianity is everywhere, historians often considers the rise of Christianity as one of the factors that have led to the decline of Rome. But I recommend to look back. The decline of Rome is the main reason for the rise of Christianity. In one article of 1517 funds cited in the introduction of this article, the authors point out that rising stoicism also shows that civilization is declining. The story of the decline of the empire is almost always a story of the decline of civilization. The reason is that the empire caused a cultural 'squeezing' effect. The cultural influence of the dominant empire is very strong, mainly because outsiders try to combine as much as possible with the economic interests of their conquerors (this is almost always a late for Ponzi plan) ). Despite being old even though it is beautiful, it will weaken the local culture.
