The reasons for the revolution in Romania against the communist regime were numerous, and all oft hem were totally justified.
The three biggest reasons were:
- Poverty;
The Romanians were the poorest nation in Europe by the end of the communist rule. Most of the people were living bellow the poverty line, very often being in situation to not have anything to eat.
- Corruption;
The corruption in the country was extraordinarily high, being part of the daily life, and taking place anywhere from the streets for the most ordinary things, up to the highest officials f the country.
- Dictatorship;
Nicolae Ceausescu was a prime example of a dictator. He had absolute power, controlled everything in the country with iron fist. Controlled the media, and was eliminating anyone who tried to oppose him, so no wonder that the people decided that enough is enough.
Rome was initially a city-state with about 50 square miles of territory to sustain itself. With small farms, the citizens could not split them up between their sons and so sought extra land for them. The surrounding city-states were bent on the same need, so they clashed, with Romme losing some, but on average winning most fights. As winners they took land and expanded.

As a rising power, cities in southern Gaul (France), Spain and Sicily sought Rome's assistance, and as a land power it allied itself with Carthage, a sea power. This arrangement came to an end when Rome supported Greek cities in Sicily against Carthaginian encroachment. A win in the First Punic (Carthaginian) War put the Romans on the path to empire, which was consilidated with the extirmination of Carthage in the Third Punic War in 146 BCE. At this stage Rome dominated the Western Mediterranean. </span>
