In one or two paragraphs, compare and contrast the fall of the Roman Empire with the fall of the Byzantine Empire. Describe at least one major similarity and one major difference. Make sure you focus on how the two empires fell rather than on general similarities and differences between the empires.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

When Rome declined, the western half of the empire formed the Byzantine Empire. The eastern half became the Holy Roman Empire. Because the Byzantine Empire came from the fall of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire had many similarities with Rome. In addition to these similarities, there were also several differences between these two empires. This includes culture, religion, and location. These similarities and differences helped shape the Byzantine Empire into what it became.

One similarity between these two Empires was the form of entertainment that took place in these cultures. Both the Byzantine Empire and the Roman Empire enjoyed watching gladiator fights at a big stadium. (Rautman) The people of the Roman Empire held these events at the Coliseum. In the Byzantine Empire, there was the Circus Maximus, another stadium. The use of this arena was the same as the Coliseum in Rome. Gladiator fights and chariot races were held here. It is estimated that 50,000 to 350,000 people, or approximately a quarter of the population of the city could fit inside. It has also been calculated that the arena of the Coliseum would fit 12 times into the Circus Maximus. (Crowther)

A difference between the Byzantine and Roman Empire was their form of religion. (Salisbury)In Rome the people worshipped Jupiter as the father of all gods. Jupiter and his wife Juno had many children that were also gods. For example, Mars, the god of war was a child of Jupiter. Mercury, the messenger god was another son of Jupiter and his wife. This meant that Rome was a polytheistic society. They believed in more than one god. The Byzantine Empire, on the other hand, was a monotheistic society. This meant that they believed in only one god. They mainly followed the teachings of Christianity. (Ermatinger)

In conclusion, the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire were unique in their own was. Both civilizations rose out of fallen cultures. While the Roman Empire rose from the Roman Republic, the Byzantine Empire was established because of the fall of the Roman Empire. Despite these differences, the two cultures had similar aspects in culture, geography, science and technology. Some of these included government, religion, and location. These characteristics helped develop the two great civilizations and influence the world today.

The gold–salt trade have an enormous impact on the cultures of West Africa as, "By connecting West Africa to the rest of the world, it brought West Africans new goods and ideas."

What is the gold–salt trade?

Gold and salt trade via the Sahara Desert has been going on for many centuries. Gold from West African states was traded north to the Mediterranean in exchange for luxury goods and, ultimately, salt from the desert.

Ghana in Western African, was rich in gold but lacked salt. And the Mediterranean's who lived in the desert could easily mine salt, but not gold. Hence, the gold was exchanged for commodities, the most important of which was salt, that had been transported southward by Northern Africans.

As trade in gold and salt increased, Ghana's rulers gained power. Eventually, they built up armies equipped with iron weapons that were superior to the weapons of nearby people.

At its peak, Ghana was chiefly bartering gold, ivory, and slaves for salt from Arabs and horses, cloth, swords, and books from North Africans and Europeans.

Hence, option B is correct.

But have you thought about what motivates people to migrate today? For this project, you will be asked to think about this question as you make comparisons between the factors that caused people to migrate throughout history."

Transportation methods changed greatly during both those time periods. This was also during the time of Coerced labor, so people moving to better enviroments seems reasonable. People migrate today mostly for the same reasons. Think about the immigrants, they come to America for a better life just as they did back then.
