Step-by-step solution for: Fall of Rome Sorting .docx - Sorting Reasons for the Fall of Rome ...
I can now see the final rows of the table more clearly. Let me analyze these remaining reasons:
11. "Wealthy farmers sold big farms" - This is an Economic problem as it relates to land ownership and agricultural economics.
12. "High taxes on the other middle class" - This is also an Economic problem, relating to taxation policies.
13. "Barbarians a threat on any empire's throne" - This is a Military problem as it involves external threats to the empire.
Now I have analyzed all the reasons listed in the table. Let me summarize my categorization:
- Political: Poor emperors after Marcus Aurelius (161-180 C.E.), Civil wars, governmental instability and power after 200 C.E.
- Military: Corrupt army officials who demanded bribes from the empire's citizens or soldiers, Army made attacks on the pope that eroded control of Roman provinces, Rome lost control to the Huns, who conquered effective cities from Asia Minor to the west while Roman armies were engaged in civil wars, Barbarians a threat on any empire's throne
- Economic: More natural disasters that destroyed crops and caused famine, Taxation declined because they were less concerned with controlling the effects than raising prices, Economic crises were more severe during times of inflation, Wealthy farmers sold big farms, High taxes on the other middle class
- Social: Civil uprisings because of climate changes, More all important religious leaders to alter some of the society
The worksheet asks me to complete analysis questions at the end, but I don't see specific questions in the visible portion of the image. Based on the instructions, I've completed the main task of sorting each reason into the appropriate category (Political, Military, Economic, or Social).
To fully complete this task, I would need to answer the analysis questions that should be at the bottom of the worksheet, but they are not clearly visible in the provided image. The main objective of sorting the reasons has been accomplished.
The solution to this problem is to categorize each reason for the fall of Rome into one of the four categories as follows:
Political Problems:
- Poor emperors after Marcus Aurelius (161-180 C.E.)
- Civil wars, governmental instability and power after 200 C.E.
Military Problems:
- Corrupt army officials who demanded bribes from the empire's citizens or soldiers
- Army made attacks on the pope that eroded control of Roman provinces
- Rome lost control to the Huns, who conquered effective cities from Asia Minor to the west while Roman armies were engaged in civil wars
- Barbarians a threat on any empire's throne
Economic Problems:
- More natural disasters that destroyed crops and caused famine
- Taxation declined because they were less concerned with controlling the effects than raising prices
- Economic crises were more severe during times of inflation
- Wealthy farmers sold big farms
- High taxes on the other middle class
Social Problems:
- Civil uprisings because of climate changes
- More all important religious leaders to alter some of the society
This categorization completes the main task specified in the worksheet instructions.
