I don't think it was. The Etruscans were assimilated into Roman society. In fact, a lot of the rulers of Rome were Etruscans.
If I remember correctly, I think it was the Romans who over threw the Etruscan Ruler (Vii, or something like that).
The Etruscans were not political, at least not as much as the Romans, and I think that's where they failed.
At about 600 BC, a group of people called the Etruscans took power in Rome. At about 509 BC, the Romans revolted and drove the Etruscans out of power in Rome, but did adopt some of their ideas, such as the Greek Alphabet, which the Etruscans adopted from the Greeks.
Etruscans
No.
The Etruscans were a civilization that lived on the northern part of the Italian Peninsula. They were the people who founded Rome. Later, the Romans revolted from them.
Although the theory that the Etruscans conquered Rome is very fashionable, it is just that, a theory. It is based on unproven assumptions and it evidence base is flimsy, to say the least. It is most likely that the Etruscans did not conquer Rome. There is no record of it. More recent archaeological finds seem to suggest a different picture.
The Etruscans were invaders in Rome who soon took over. They were harsh rulers who soon were taken over by some other people! Actually, they were there before the Romans were, when Italy was divided into the italics and the etruscans, and a few more that I can't remember.
