  1. The Plan… 23 Sept 2013 • Pair up with someone and compare your video notes from last day – you have 10 minutes • I will then put ‘my notes’ up on the screen for you to compare with as well • NEW!!! The End is Near • Brief PowerPoint and then you have some work to do (this is homework) • Collage work: I have the laptops… • This is your last chance to finish… get’er done!

  2. The End is near… • As is sometimes the case, good things do come to an end… • This is where the Roman Empire found itself • Timeline: • 117 CE the Empire reached it’s peak • 161 CE Rome’s neighbours were causing a raucous • 284 CE Rome’s Empire was divided in attempt to save costs & regain control of its borders (bad idea)

  3. Factors that sealed Rome’s fate… • Political: • Over-centralization of Government • Too much done in Rome, corruption of public officials, and the decline of city governments (outside of Rome) • Economic: • Gap between the rich and poor growing • Small farms disappearing • Unemployment on the rise • Growing independence of larger estates

  4. Factors continued… • Military: • Experienced a weakening of frontier defences • Military officials had too much power (corruption)

  5. Factors part 3… • Moral Factors: • Decline in patriotism (love that people feel for their country) • Growing apathy (the feeling of not having much emotion or interest) • Decline in personal freedoms • Increase in corruption • …the people were not happy

  6. Factors part 4… • Outside factors: • Barbarian invasions – overran Rome • Goths, Visigoths, Huns, etc.

  7. Your turn… • Worksheet : “End is Near!” • Answers in text • Directions: Read pages 8-11 in your text • Definitions & Questions • We will go over this tomorrow!!! • Finish your collage (if not done so already) • Last day/in-class time for this • If you don’t finish = homework
