WHY DO GREAT EMPIRES DECLINE? The following scene takes place in the nursing home

(a place for old people to go until they died) for Empires.

Oldus: I can’t believe that I am here in a nursing home. I use to stretch from England all the way to Asia and Africa. Now I’m sitting here cleaning my false teeth and waiting for

the nurse to bring me my medicine. Tiredus: I hear you. I also held an incredible territory, from the Huang He in the south to the Yangtze River to the west.

Now look at me, all I can eat is mashed potatoes and ice cream. I am sick and tired of peeing in my pants.

Oldus: We use to be great Empires, feared and hated by many. Now we are nothing, what happened?

Page 7: Fall of the Roman Empire Aim/Goals: Why did the Roman Empire decline (to fall)? Do Now: What does this quote mean to you? “The sun never sets (goes down)

Tiredus: Well, my warriors were so successful and conquered so much territory that other tribes wanted to take land from us.

Oldus: Same here. We use to say that the sun never sets on the Roman Empire. Barbarians from the north tried to take pieces of our empire from us.

Tiredus: I’m with you on that. We tried to stop the barbarians to our north from attacking by building the Great Wall. Well, we should have built it another 30 feet higher and 20 feet thicker.

Oldus: Well, we didn’t build a Great Wall but we used our soldiers to defend the outer areas of the Empire. We had many soldiers but needed more.

The Great Wall of China

Tiredus: I know. Those barbarians were not very nice when they finally attacked our capital, Peking. Almost nothing was left standing.

Oldus: Tell me about it. I’m surprised that the Coliseum is still standing after the destruction those creeps cause in Rome.

Tiredus: Well, my people got what they deserved. We needed more and more taxes (money) to defend the Empire but all the people did was complain and refuse to pay their taxes. Eventually, they began to attack their Emperor. Ungrateful dummies!

Oldus: We have a lot in common. The Roman people must have thought that soldiers and army equipment are free because they revolted (went against) against the higher taxes also. How dare they curse and attack our Emperors? Those people are almost as terrible as Ms. Gluck’s students who do not do Global History homework.
