Compare the roman empire to the persian empire

History
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago

Both were very large, both contained a multitude of different people and cultures.
2. Both were victims of their own success, that is they looked rich and looked very good for invasion when weak, and both in the end were destroyed by invaders from outside at times of strife.
3. In the end they both tried to reach too far and were stopped, in case of the Achamanids they invaded the Greek states, had huge problems in maintaining their invasions and supplying their forces, naval or land based.  The same is for Romans when they were stopped by the Parthian “Persian” Dynastie, See battle of Carrhae.  The Romans had no sea route to Persia and had to cross large tracts of land, their armies at the end of extremely long supply chains were defeated. And a lot of the time all the Persians had to do was cut of their supply routes, see the campaigns of Julian, or Mark Antony.
4. Both had great impact on their people’s lives and culture, be it religiously, linguistically or architecturally.   See the use of large domes in buildings, a construction system innovated largely during the Parthian era.  Religiously we can see the impact of ancient religions of the Persians on romans and consequently on Christianity, for example see “Mithraism” and its perpetuation from Persia into Rome, the disturbing similarities with Christianity.  E.g. Mithra was called a “Son” of great god, had a virgin birth, walked among the people for a while, cured the sick etc.. died, was resurrected and then ascended into the heaven. What is interesting is that all Persians and Iranians celebrate the ascendant into heaven every year on March 20th which is very close to Easter. Nowrooz, is also celebrated in the republic of Azarbiegan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, all Kurdish states, and a number of other states. By the way the word “istan” which means “the land of” is the root word for the English word “State”.

What was the significance of the failing communist governments in Eastern Europe to the end of the Cold War?
N76 [4]

The failing communist governments entrenched the idea that democracy was superior form of government. It established the United States as a global superpower both in governmental structure and military force. The failing governments also meant that Eastern Europe was much less financially stable than the rest of the world and would have to make peace with and rely on western countries to pull themselves out of debt.

How did charlemagne briefly reunite much of western europe, and what happened to his empire after his death?
lora16 [44]
Charlemagne belonged to the Germanic tribe, the Franks. Upon the death of his father, Pepin, and his brother, Carloman, Charlemagne began his campaign to unite all the Germanic peoples/ tribes into one kingdom. After uniting the Germanic tribes, he had them convert to Christianity.

Next, Charlemagne aimed to expand his kingdom, carrying out successful military campaigns against the Lombards (in modern-day Northern Italy), the Saxons, and the Avars (in modern-day Austria and Hungary). He conquered most of Western Europe reaching Northern Spain, Bavaria, and Southern Italy. 

Charlemagne employed "novel siege technologies and excellent logistics." He led a well-organized large army, heavily armed and armored, who traveled in horseback, allowing them to travel large distances. They relied on their maneuverability and on an organized system of conquest, building fortresses, leaving garrisons in forts, and gathering enough resources and supply for their conquests.

As an emperor, he was a talented diplomat and converted most of his kingdom to Christianity. He initiated military, economic, educational, and religious reforms, making him the protagonist of the "Carolingian Renaissance."

After Charlemagne's death, his son Louis became the sole ruler of his empire. Eventually, his empire was split among 3 of his grandsons and was dissolved by the late 800s, primarily because of a new wave of attacks from the Muslims, Vikings, and Magyars. <span>
