Is there any kind of list I can work with ?! :D
Answer:
Option: It lasted another 1000 years.
Explanation:
In 476 CE, the Western Roman Empire collapsed, and Romulus became the last of the Roman emperors. The Eastern Empire, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, thrives for another thousand years. The Eastern Roman Empire became the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire became rich and flourished because of its location. Its capital, Constantinople, became the center of a trade route. Constantinople remained powerful and wealthy because of the strong military while cities in the Western Roman Empire crumbled.
The movement where people from or with ancestors from 21 Central and South American countries that were once former colonies of Spain were grouped together speaks to dynamics underlying involuntary ethnicity. This process divides people into racial classification where they are explicitly or implicitly ranked on a social worth’s scale.
As a Vietnam War veteran I would feel mistreated and misunderstood. I fought for my country risking my life, yet many people thought all I did there was wrong. Many Americans opposed the war on moral grounds and the war itself was hugely unpopular. They wanted to forget the war and the veterans.
I would also feel very unappreciated. The WWII Veterans were seen and celebrated as heros but we were just a nuisance. No proper benefits were offered to us, so many had to return to a life in poverty. We were given only 200$ pro months and no money whatsoever for education. As a result of this, many of us had to get basic, low-wage jobs with no carrier opportunities.
I would feel angry as well because I did was I was asked for to do and I did it for my country. Many of us suffered from PTSD, a fact that got ignored and not mentioned much. So many of Vietnam Veterans felt forgotten and abandoned in their own country that the number of suicides among them was higher than the number of these dying in the war.
