    The Roman and Han empires falls’ were similar because of their decline in economic trade. Trade was extremely important for the Romans and Chinese so when it began to decline, so did the rest of the empire. As both empires borders expanded, they had to take more of the military to defend the borders rather than the trade routes, so the trade routes became compromised. People began stealing goods from merchants making the routes extremely dangerous. Because their was much less trade, the taxes to the government were greatly reduced so they had to tax the people more. Most people could not afford the hike in taxes so the government was still unable to get all of their money, thus resulting in decline. This is similar to the decline of the Qin Dynasty because the Qin Dynasty had to raise taxes on peasants to try and support the…

    After the Zhou dynasty overthrew the Shang dynasty in 1050 BCE, the government became semi decentralized. Parcels of land were parted out to lords who could then pass that land on along the patriarchal line. The distribution of land to individual lords allows the country to progress as each individual lord builds their own city and quality of life across the region increases. Compared to the Shang dynasty that was overthrown, which centered on a more military oriented ruling style, the Zhou dynasty allowed time for the people of China to develop other skills beyond the art of war. This form of government is not without its flaws however, as individual lords lead to an increase in noble privilege and as a consequence a decrease in the quality of life of their subjects. This increase in noble privilege was combated by the Qin dynasty.…
