If anyone knows anything about history, they know at least a little bit of the Roman Empire. I do not know the names and dates of this history, but I do know the general direction that the Roman Empire took from its rise to power and vast empire to its final demise.

Now when the Roman Empire first became a world power of its day she was a mighty nation to behold. She had an emperor and also a senate. For the most part this empire was a very strong moral nation. She had a powerful and highly motivated and trained army. The Roman Empire dominated the world. She had excellent sailors and had the most powerful navy of the then known world. The fighting might of her army was known everywhere and greatly feared and respected. So what went wrong?

From what I have read and looked into about this mighty empire I can see several things that went wrong with her and compare the same path to the American Empire. First and foremost was immorality and perversion invaded her citizens. The sexual immorality became rampant like a disease and decayed her from within. Homosexuality ran rampant which threw her even further into decay. The lust for blood and violence also permeated her inner workings. The infamous gladiator battles, the feeding of Christians to the lions, and the lust for power became as rotted meat, destroying the very fiber of this once fabulous and powerful nation. I believe the final nail in her coffin was when she hired mercenaries to fight her wars for her. Finally she was no longer able to resist her enemies and was finally conquered. But the fall began long before the actual defeat from her enemies.

Takeaways
  • Now when the Roman Empire first became a world power of its day she was a mighty nation to behold
  • The Roman Empire dominated the world.
  • First and foremost was immorality and perversion invaded her citizens.
Did You Know?
Finally, America does hire mercenaries now. This country has lost the stomach to do what has to be done to keep and maintain her freedom. It is an abomination when volunteer soldier's dessert, and refuse to do the duty they have sworn to do.
