In studying imperialism or globalization from an American perspective, the turn of the twentieth century provides a useful starting point. Until that time, the nation was able to isolate itself from major overseas wars through geographic separation. Washington and Jefferson’s warning against entangling alliances and the Monroe Doctrine’s assertion of hemispheric self‐determination provided strong rhetorical justification for a policy of non‐ interference.1 This perspective changed after the Spanish‐American War of the late 1890s, when the United States acquired the Philippines and other territories as permanent possessions in postwar negotiations. For the first time, the United States had the eminent capability to begin overseas expansion and rival European imperial powers. Albert Beveridge's "March of the Flag" not only delivered a rhetorically powerful argument for such an expansion project into the Philippines and beyond, but also placed this argument into the larger context of Manifest Destiny—the historic mission of Americans to spread liberty, civilization, and "God’s kingdom on Earth." The call for such a policy of imperial conquest had great appeal in its era and carries insight for American foreign policy from that time forward.2
The speech is rhetorically significant as well. The march allegory has often been the critical focus of American public address students and scholars. The vivid image brings alive the themes of nationalist imperialism, making Beveridge's speech more memorable and meaningful. The forward progress of the flag gave the speech its organizing principle and its moral certitude. Rarely has one figural theme held such centrality for American political oratory as in the "March of the Flag" speech.
This analysis brings to the foreground the values and keywords of the era to better understand how the powerful march allegory functioned in the speech. Beveridge redefined several key terms of the speech both through connotative and denotative strategies. Specifically, "liberty" and "civilization" are linked to a continuous forward march. Meanwhile, Beveridge employed altered meanings of the terms that are specific to expansionist rhetoric while appearing consistent to a larger narrative. The power of Beveridge's speech flowed not only from the figurative language that scholars often identify

Answer:

Explanation:

The Roman civilization (Ancient Rome) arose from a small agricultural community founded in the Italian peninsula, city of Rome, in the tenth century BC (according to tradition in 753 BC) located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea became one of the greatest empires of the ancient world.

Rome was a monarchy. Later (509 BC) was a Latin Republic, and in 27 a. C. became an empire. The period of greatest splendor of Roman culture is known as Roman Pax (Roman Peace), due to the relative state of harmony that prevailed in the regions that were under Roman rule, a period of order and prosperity that met the Empire under the dynasty of the Antonines (96-192 AD) and, to a lesser extent, the Severians (193-235 AD). It marked the golden age of the West and the awakening of the East.

In its centuries of existence, the Roman civilization passed from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire that added many territories through conquest and cultural assimilation. The Romans came to dominate in their heyday from Britain, the Sahara desert and from the Iberian Peninsula to the Euphrates, causing an important cultural flourishing in each place where he ruled

Rome was plagued by internal instability and attacked by several migrant barbarian peoples that detached the western part of the empire where independent barbarian kingdoms were founded in the 5th century, including in Italy, Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Africa.

The Eastern Roman Empire, which was ruled from Constantinople, comprising Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis. Despite the subsequent loss of Syria and Egypt due to the power of the Islamic Arab empire, the Eastern Roman Empire survived almost a millennium more compared to the Western Roman Empire, until its last remnants were finally annexed by the Turkish Ottoman Empire that emerged as a power in the eastern region. This Eastern Christian empire of the medieval period is usually known as the Byzantine Empire by historians.

Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity", with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of legal science (law), war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a great influence on the today's world
