DIFFERENCES

<u>Geopolitical</u>

China's heartland was far larger and more cohesive, geographically and culturally, than Rome's. Rome had as

its heartland only central Italy, and even after conquering Italy, it held just that single peninsula bounded by

the Alps Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. In the time of Augustus in Rome and the Han dynasty in

China, the Roman and Chinese empires each held about 60 million people, but in Rome only a few of these

millions were in Italy. In China virtually all were in "inner China," 90 percent of them in the North China Plain.

<u>Longevity and Persistence</u>

Rome's empire rose, fell, and was gone, although it lived on as a concept. China's empire has lasted for the

last two thousand years. Dynasties have come and gone, and sometimes the empire has broken into

fragments, but finally the empire endured as a single political entity. Today, although without an emperor,

China's geopolitical unity continues.

Policy and Powers of Assimilation

As China moved both north and south, it assimilated a great number of the peoples it invaded and

conquered. Non-ethnic Chinese were absorbed culturally and biologically. Many of the 95 percent of today's

Chinese population who are called "Han" are descended from ancestors who were not. The empire was held

together by Confucian and Buddhist ideology, supported by the power of the emperor and his armies. Rome's

empire was held together by law and backed by military power. Selected non-Romans could gain citizenship

under law, but ethnically and culturally the conquered peoples remained "other." Intermarriage with noncitizens was usually forbidden. Rome maintained the cultural distinctions far more than did China. .

SIMILARITIES

<u>Relations with Barbarians</u>

Both empires faced nomadic groups from central Asia who threatened and penetrated their boundaries.

Indeed, the Huns, who invaded Europe, and the Xiongnu, who invaded China, may have belonged to the same

ethnic group. Both empires settled the "Barbarians" near their borders and enlisted them in the imperial

armies. In both cases, the Barbarians came to hold great power. Ultimately, however, they dismembered the

Roman Empire while they were absorbed by the Chinese.

<u>Religious Policies</u>

Both empires incubated foreign religions, especially in times of imperial disorder, but in Rome, Christianity

did not save the empire, and by challenging the significance of earthly power it may even have contributed to

the empire's weakness. In China, Buddhism was absorbed into Confucianism and Daoism and helped to

sustain the national culture in times of political trouble.

<u>The Role of the Emperor</u>

Both empires ascribed divine attributes to the emperor, and both frequently had difficulty in establishing

rules for imperial succession. The Romans often attempted to choose their best general, while the Chinese

selected a man who could control the imperial family and court. Neither empire believed that a single

imperial family should rule forever.

<u>Gender Relationships</u>

Both empires subordinated women to men at all stages of life, and both drew analogies between hierarchies

and loyalties in a well-run family and those in a well-run empire. Both empires used marriages as means of

confirming political alliances with foreign powers. Both periodically felt that excessive concern with sexual

relationships was distracting energy away from the demands of sustaining the empire and instituted strict

codes of sexual morality. In China, far more than in Rome, women of the imperial family played an important

role in politics behind the scenes, particularly in terms of determining succession. One woman, the Empress

Wu (r. 690-705), took the throne herself.

<u>The Significance of Imperial Armies</u>

In both empires, the army was crucial in creating and sustaining the political structure in the face of domestic

and foreign enemies. The Roman Empire as established and ruled by generals, as were the Qin, Han, Sui, and

Tang dynasties in China the empires were periodically threatened and usurped by rebel generals asserting

their own authority. The cost of the armies, especially on distant, unprofitable expeditions, often bankrupted

the government and encouraged its subjects to evade taxes and military service and even to rise in revolt.

The Deployment of Armies of Colonization

Both empires used colonies of soldier-colonizers to garrison and develop remote areas while simultaneously

providing compensation and retirement benefits for the troops.

what was the purpose of the ghost dance performed by some of the native american tribes in the late 19th century
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:Ghost Dance, either of two distinct cults in a complex of late 19th-century religious movements that represented an attempt of Indians in the western United States to rehabilitate their traditional cultures. Both cults arose from Northern Paiute prophet-dreamers in western Nevada who announced the imminent return of the dead (hence “ghost”), the ousting of the whites, and the restoration of Indian lands, food supplies, and way of life. These ends, it was believed, would be hastened by the dances and songs revealed to the prophets in their vision visits to the spirit world and also by strict observance of a moral code that resembled Christian teaching and forbade war against Indians or whites. Many dancers fell into trances and received new songs from the dead they met in visions or were healed by Ghost Dance rituals.
