1. Did plagues reduce the population to the point it could not sustain itself?
2. Did civil wars lessen the strength of the empire and weaken the population?
3. Did the army lose its discipline and thus endanger the empire and cause it to be overrun?
4. Did the citizens of Rome become too satisfied and lazy, allowing the empire to crumble due to neglect?
5. Did the empire bureaucracy become too top heavy, eventually causing the empire to collapse upon itself?
6. Did it fall as the result of barbarian invasions?
7. Did the empire spend too much of its resources on the poor, thus drawing away precious funds from the empire?
8. Was the Roman Empire just too big, making a collapse inevitable?
9. What similarities exist between Rome and the United States?
10. Do you feel the United States is in the process of decline as a nation?
11. Assume for the minute that the U.S. is declining in a manner similar to Rome. How would you stop the slide and return the U.S. to its prior greatness?
12. Why did Rome fall? Internal/external conflicts? Explain.
