The Fall of United States Parallels The Fall of Rome?

From the burst of the housing bubble, to the financial crisis, to the rapid inflation, all the signs point to the fall of the United States. This by in no means the economy of the United States will collapse but it shows that the United States will have difficulty maintaining the the position as the powerhouse of the world we live in today.fall roman empire

History repeats itself and this can be seen with the collapse of the United States with the collapse of the Roman Empire.

Here are some of the explanations for the Fall of Rome:

* Decay
* Financial Problems
* The Dole and Barbarians
* Economic, Military, Gradual
* Christianity
* Vandals and Religious Controversy
* Division of the Empire
* Lead
* Hoarding and Deficit

Sound familar? You can tie a plethora of past and current events to the aforementioned reasons.

The 1st powerhouse of the world was Europe. Then came the United States. I think it is evident that we all know who the third will be, Asia.

    It depends what you mean when you say “collapse.” If you mean riots and political assassinations, due to the economic situation, you may be right that this won’t happen. The majority of the people do not even see what is going on. But Rome didn’t collapse either. This is why it’s called the “Eternal City.” Yes it was sacked and faced military defeats, but it simply lost its power (and “civilized” aspect).

    I write about this on my own blog, http://thehumanfiction.wordpress.com, if you are interested, and the similarities go much further, including the use of mythology, decadence, mobocracy, populism, etc.

    In any case, this was a good summary of the situation:)
