Compare and contrast the fall of the Roman Empire with the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Describe at least one major similarity

Lesechka [4]

The main difference between the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire concerned the official religions they practiced. Whereas the Roman Empire was officially pagan up for most of its existence, the Byzantine Empire was Christian. The Byzantine Empire was the significant remnant of the Roman Empire that survived in southeastern Europe for a thousand years after the official fall of Rome in 476 CE. As noted, a key difference with Rome was that the Byzantine Empire was always Christian rather than pagan. This hardwired into Byzantium a lack of cultural openness to the kind of religious diversity that had helped classical Rome to expand and thrive.
Another important difference was the relative weakness of Byzantium vis-à-vis the Roman Republic's power in its heyday. While powerful in some ways, Byzantium did not function as a hegemonic cultural, political, and military superpower in the same way as did the classical Roman Empire. This had the downside of leaving western Europe vulnerable to attacks, particularly from Viking marauders, that would not have occurred under the Roman Empire, but this also created an upside in which the western Europeans were forced to create their own vibrant and flexible cultural, political, and military institutions and infrastructures in order to survive.
Byzantium remained crucially important, however, because it controlled Constantinople, the gateway to the Mediterranean as well the gateway to overland passages to Asia. This was a source of access to vital trade routes with the East that this remnant of the Roman empire safeguarded for western Europe. Unfortunately, however, unlike Rome in its heyday, Byzantium ultimately lacked military might to keep this territory from Muslim conquest.

Explanation:

1- Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America, occupying the position between 1801 and 1809. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the nation.

His eminence is given because he was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of 1776. Jefferson was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, known for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.

Jefferson was a leader and co-founder with James Madison of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years. In addition, he was the governor of Virginia during the War of Independence (1779-1781), the first secretary of state (1789-1793) and second vice president of the United States (1797-1801).

2- Alexander Hamilton was an economist, statesman, politician, writer, lawyer, and first secretary of the Treasury of the United States. He was one of the founding fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the Constitution of the United States, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard and The New York Post. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the principal author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration.

3- James Madison was an American politician, political theorist, and the fourth president of the United States. He is considered one of the most influential of the "Founding Fathers of the United States" for his contribution to the drafting of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, to the extent that he is nicknamed "The Father of the Constitution". Breaking ties with Hamilton and the Federalist Party in 1791, he and Thomas Jefferson organized the Democratic-Republican Party, as a way to counteract the economic policies that Hamilton took as Secretary of the Treasury.

4- John Jay was an American politician and jurist, first president of the Supreme Court of the United States. He served as ambassador in Madrid and London. He negotiated the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in 1794.

5- Thomas Pinckney was an American soldier, politician and diplomat. In 1795 he was appointed extraordinary envoy to the Madrid court, to negotiate the 1795 Treaty of Madrid with Spain.

6- John Adams was an American statesman and founding father who served as first vice president (1789-1797) and second president of the United States (1797-1801). He was a lawyer, diplomat, political theorist and leader of the movement for the independence of the United States.

7- Edmond-Charles Genet was a French diplomat. As French Ambassador to the United States at the time of the French Revolution, he unleashed a diplomatic and political crisis in 1793 when he tried to influence US policy on neutrality in favor of France.

8- Edmund Randolph was an American lawyer and politician. He was the seventh governor of Virginia, the second secretary of state and the first attorney general of the United States.
