Rome (Day 7)

The United States and the Roman Empire have many similarities and many parallels when it comes to the possible collapse. However, the United States has learned from the mistakes of the civilizations that came previously and knows what to do to avoid a collapse. I think that there is definitely a chance that the United States will fall, but it is unlikely. One reason that the U.S. could collapse is the rising cost of elections. Every year, the cost of elections rises, just like the Roman Empire. This is definitely a concern, as well as the amount of debt that we are in. A reason that there would not be a collapse is that the military is very different. Rome's military power changed a lot and was taken over many different times. America has a very good and powerful army with nuclear warfare if needed. Hopefully it won't need to be used anytime soon, because a nuclear war would be very bad for the country. We are at constant war so that is a reason that there could be a collapse. Overall, there are many reasons for both sides of the argument, but I think that America is pretty stable, at least for the time being and won't have a collapse.
