Why is the coliseum still important today?

History

Not really a response.

The huge external stones of the Colosseum were fastened together using metal clips rather than cement during construction. The clips were removed from the stone works by "recyclers" when the building went out of use. The exterior is pock pitted with holes as a result.

As a result, gravity is the only factor holding these external walls together.

The Colosseum was also constructed in the first century. It had the most seats available of any sports venue in the world up to the 19th century.

The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Theatre (for the imperial dynasty that oversaw its design and construction), was the greatest structure of its type and entertained many people as a diversion from their daily chores. It was also a clever stroke of imperial propaganda because it was constructed on the site of the Domus Aureus, the unpopular emperor Nero's imperial residence. They filled the pond that had previously been in the garden and the tiny stream that had been diverted to fill this pond in order to construct it. This would later be the reason why one side of the Colosseum collapsed in an earthquake as the soil there was far more loose than under the other part and thus suffered from liquification making the whole underground unstable.

The leaders of the US, USSR, and Great Britain said they wanted to cooperate, so why were negotiations at the Yalta and Potsdam
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:  Each country had its own agenda about the post-war world.

Context/explanation:

Churchill in particular, along with Roosevelt, pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, "Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." Stalin and the Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests.   So one key point of disagreement between Stalin and the other two was over the direction things would take in Eastern Europe after the war.

While Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were on the same page in many ways, there were also key differences between them.   As noted by The Churchill Project of Hillsdale College, "FDR, ever the optimist, believed (or wanted to believe) that Stalin could be convinced that the West was not committed to destruction of the Soviet regime."  Churchill had a much more skeptical view of Stalin and the Soviet Union and approached the relationship in a firmer fashion.  Roosevelt had hoped to continue cooperation with the USSR.  That changed under Truman, who took over the US Presidency after FDR's death.  Truman was strongly anti-communist in his stance.

Another difference between Roosevelt and Churchill pertained to colonialism and imperialism.  Again as noted by The Churchill Project:  "Over colonialism. Roosevelt firmly believed European colonialism had been a major cause of World War I, and that it had continued to be a source of international disputes and tensions before World War II. Churchill had sworn defend the realm, which, when he took office, included the British Empire."  As it happened, after World War II, colonialism's days were numbered and independence movements broke out around the world where imperial powers had dominated.
