How did the roman empire in Greece fall?
It's happened over and over through out history. There has been a lot of talk recently of the United States making the same mistakes as Romans, Spanish and German empires. What happened in each of these empires is they became such huge world powers and started to take over so many territories and so much land that they spread their forces too thin. Other countries/empires noticed the spread of the forces and attacked the weakened or depleted units. For example the Germans, during Hitler's reign, were so powerful and advanced that they controlled most of the European continent. They then decided to try and move in towards the Asian countries. When they invaded Russia their troops were so depleted and unprepared for the elements that the Russians were able to over take them and the trend started to follow throughout Europe. The same happened to the Romans. When the Romans had control over most of modern day Europe, other empires teamed up and attacked and were able to sack Rome. This person ^^^^ She/he's asking about ancient GREECE! Romans lived in Rome which was in ITALY, and btw they also died out because their main water pipes that went into homes and fountains was made of lead, so most of the population fell sick and died of lead pisoning. (Aswell as the first 1)
How were the Romans able to take control of the Italian peninsula?
Up to the mid-4th century BC, Rome's expansion was limited to a regional level. Her wider expansion into Italy occurred with the three Samnite Wars (343-341 BC, 326-304 BC, and 298-290 BC) and the Pyrrhic War (280-275 BC). After the first Samnite war, Rome ceased to be a city-state. It granted full Roman citizenship to the most important Latin cities and partial citizenship (without the right to vote) to the Volsci and Campanians. These were allies who had revolted against Rome at the end of the mentioned war (in the Latin War (340-338 BC). They were now incorporated into the Roman Republic which became a large multi-ethnic commonwealth, greatly increasing her military manpower and eliminating the chance of rebellion by these former allies who were now juridically Roman. During the Second Samnite War Rome's policy was to encircle their territory (Samnium, in modern Molise and the mountains of Campania in the northern part of southern Italy) by making alliances with the peoples of central Italy north of Samnium (in modern Abruzzo) and to its east, in northern Apulia. After winning this war, Rome consolidated these alliances. Some peoples volunteered to become allies because of Rome's great military power and some were forced into it. In the third Samnite war, Rome defeated an alliance of Samnites, Etruscans (from eastern part of modern Tuscany), the Umbrians (from modern Umbria) and the Senones, a Gaul tribe that lived in Marche, a region on the Adriatic coast, to the east of Umbria. These vanquished peoples were forced to become Roman allies. The Lucanians (in modern Basilicata) of the mountains to the south of Samnium decided to ally with Rome. Central Italy and the mountains of the south (except for Calabria) were now under Roman indirect rule. Enslavement after a victory in battle was a way of wakening the defeated peoples. So was confiscation of lands. Rome founded Latin colonies (settlements of Romans and Latins) in strategic points. The purpose of this was to establish strongholds along key routes and a population presence in these strategic areas. In the long run, the colonies contributed to latinising the Italic peoples. The land around these towns was confiscated to give farms to the colonists. Rome also annexed a strip of land from coast to coast and just south of the vanquished Umbrians and Senone Gauls to consolidate her control over their territories. The system of alliances was powerful. The allies had to provide Rome with soldiers at their expense. However, they shared the spoils of war (which could be very large) with Rome as an incentive. The system had been described as inviting the victim of robbery to join the gang of robbers to share the next booty. Moreover, Rome often supported the ruling classes of the allies, ensuring loyalty. By the early 3rd century, the allies provided 60% of Rome's army. This combined manpower was massive. Rome defeated Pyrrhus (a Greek king who tried to take over southern Italy) in the Pyrrhic war thanks to this massive manpower. With this victory she took over the rest of the south. This provided further allies. Rome now had one of the largest armies in the Mediterranean.
