President George H.W. Bush is a very conservative and pragmatic leader. He showed these traits in dealing with foreign affairs. Before acting on a situation, he studies the policies first. An example of his conservatism and pragmatism involved China.
When the Chinese government gunned down their people who conducted a peaceful protest, the US government didn't react as harshly as its people wanted. They imposed limited sanctions. This is because President Bush knows that they still have to deal with China in the future. He did not burn down the bridge on this foreign relation.
By today's standards this period in the US wasn't very democratic, since minorities and women and poor people could not vote. It became less equal because of wealth disparities.

Splitting the Roman empire into two parts however did not work. Rome was now easily attacked by military invaders. Rome also could not fight well. They had to hire mercenaries to fight for them. This was not the best plan because mercenaries are not always loyal to the country that they are fighting for. Rome also faced political turmoil. The government was now very oppressive which lost them the support of the Roman people. Rome also faced economic weakness, due to very high taxes. Rome also relied more heavily on slaves not the technology that they had developed and used before. The final problem that faced Rome was the social decay. Romans no longer held the key values of the Roman culture like patriotism, discipline, and devotion to duty and the upper class was too dedicated to luxury and prestige.
