How were state governments different from colonies

natali 33 [55]

A state has self-government, or is part of a larger self-governing whole (like a Federal government).
A colony is ruled by an outside power, and does not have the power to make its own laws.

The Fall of the West Template

anzhelika [568]

The fall of the Roman Empire was not due to one event but due to many events combined. Below, you can read the explanations for the factors that led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

<h3 /><h3>Burden of Supporting an Over-expanded Military</h3>

Excessive military spending was a primary reason for the fall of Rome because this left no money for other vital activities. Defending the border of the Empire from attacks was expensive and costly for the government.

<h3>Rise in Power of the Eastern Empire</h3>

The Roman Empire was divided into two, The Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. At the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman empire which was now called Byzantine rose and the capital was shifted from Rome to Constantinople by Emperor Constantine.

<h3>Economic Troubles and Overreliance on Slave Labor</h3>

The over reliance on slave labor coupled with constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. This made the Roman empire to suffer from severe economic troubles, thus contributing to the decline of the empire.

<h3>Defense Against Barbarians and Huns</h3>

Western Rome's collapse was as a result of the string of military losses sustained against outside forces. For instance, the Huns invading from the east caused the domino effect. They invaded the Goths, who then invaded the Roman Empire.

<h3>Weak and Corrupt Political Leaders</h3>

Another important factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire was the successive reign of weak and corrupt leaders. The corruption in Rome was so severe that it contributed in draining the coffers of the Empire.

Alexander the Great

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Answer Below

Explanation:

Some interesting facts about Alexander the Great.

1. He was taught by Aristotle but had famous run-ins with other philosophers.

Alexander’s father, Philip II of Macedon, hired Aristotle, one of history’s greatest philosophers,, to educate the 13-year-old prince. Little is known about Alexander’s three-year tutelage but presumably by the end of it Aristotle’s wise but worldly approach had sunk in. Years later, in India, Alexander paused his military conquests to have lengthy discussions with the gymnosophists, “naked philosophers” from the Hindu or Jain religions who eschewed human vanity—and clothing.

2. In 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a battle.

Alexander the Great’s military tactics and strategies are still studied in military academies today. From his first victory at age 18, Alexander gained a reputation of leading his men to battle with impressive speed, allowing smaller forces to reach and break the enemy lines before his foes were ready. After securing his kingdom in Greece, in 334 B.C. Alexander crossed into Asia (present-day Turkey) where he won a series of battles with the Persians under Darius III. The centerpiece of Alexander’s fighting force was the 15,000-strong Macedonian phalanx, whose units held off the sword-wielding Persians with 20-foot-long pikes called sarissa.

3. He named more than 70 cities after himself—and one after his horse.

Alexander commemorated his conquests by founding dozens of cities (usually built up around previous military forts), which he invariably named Alexandria. The most famous of these, founded at the mouth of the Nile in 331 B.C., is today Egypt’s second-largest city. Other Alexandrias trace the path of his armies’ advances through present-day Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan. Near the site of the battle of the river Hydaspes—the costliest victory of his Indian campaign—Alexander founded the city of Bucephala, named for his favorite horse, which was mortally wounded in the battle.
