Essay / Why societies fall. - 898
Rome also made a lot of bad decisions. One of the worst decisions they made was having to go to war so often that they made other people, not even Romans, pay their taxes. This should have been a warning sign to them, knowing that they are out of money and need more for the war. It was a bad decision because the people of Rome had to go out, fight and end their lives. The other peoples of the Roman Empire, who weren't even in Rome, had to pay taxes for these men to go to war. It was a very bad decision because they were forcing humans to do something. Humans don't like being forced to do something. They were forced to end their lives and possibly die in the fight for Rome. This could lead to the fall of a city because, because of this bad decision, they are now making their men sacrifice themselves, against their will and making people who are not even in Rome pay their taxes.

In Rome, poor farmers had their land confiscated. the rich to have their villas on these lands now.

They are now homeless and have no farm to do their job of producing food for the city. Furthermore, since they no longer have a home, no job, they will begin to rebel against the rich, which will create a civil war against the rich. When people are at war, it's always bad. If the poor decide not to oppose the rich, they will, the government will eventually overthrow them. This will bring down a society, because when a group of people are mistreated and oppose the government in a warlike manner, they either change something or take control of the entire government..
