Answer:
As a child, Ruth (Elana Eden) is sold to a group of pagans and reared to be a priestess to their gods and idols. But, as an adult, she meets the Hebrew Mahlon (Tom Tryon), and is intrigued by his morality and monotheism. She eventually falls in love with him and adopts his faith. However, the couple soon find themselves persecuted -- Mahlon is imprisoned and Ruth is cast into the wilderness. After Ruth's attempt to free Mahlon goes horribly wrong, she redoubles her commitment to God.
Answer:
Several factors contributed to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, including the socioeconomic and political instability of the empire, the Germanic invasion and the invasion of other so-called "barbarian" tribes, the rapid rise of the Eastern Roman Empire, and more.
I can't really give you two paragraphs but one (and probably the biggest) thing was democracy. Democracy is the 'everyone gets a fair vote' and the Romans had originally started that system. After the Roman empire fell apart, the system was completely forgotten until the USA became its own country.
Another thing that we took from the Romans is archetecture. (<-- spelled wrong). Before buildings were built with steel, American's had to rely on the Roman columns, domes, and arches. Arches are great for distributing weight so that the building wouldn't collapse in on itself and so are domes. They spread the weight evenly so that you don't have to use massive pillars to hold the building up. But when steel began to be produced, the Roman architechture became more of a decorative thing because steel is a lot stronger and can support more weight.
First thing that comes to mind is Russia had a strategic advantage to the Nazis. The Russian military knew the terrain (I believe it was mountainous) and the cold climate helped push back the Nazis. The Nazis actually tried to get into Russia. That was the only country I could think of.
Most countries, I think did not have the military power to stop Hitler/Nazis from invading them.
Hopefully this helps.
