Psalms 46:6-11
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Why Rome Fell/America Has Fallen

In order to ascertain whether or not our American 'empire' will fall into the footsteps of Rome, we must first explore reasons for why Rome fell. Since there is not an agreement across all historians for the exact reasons why the Roman Empire collapsed, we will examine ten popular reasons here. Historians like Gibbon, Heather, and Murphy have all put forth their opinions about Rome's demise through their own findings.

The ten theories on the fall of Rome that this unit revolves around have been partly chosen from the "History Alive!" curriculum, which encompass some of the perspectives from historians like Gibbon and Heather.
The rationale of the ten theories on the fall of Rome are:

1.Barbarian Invasions,
2.Decline in Morals and Values,
3. Environmental and Public Health Concerns,
4. Excessive Military Spending to Defend the Empire,
5. Inferior Technology,
6. Inflation,
7. Political Corruption,
8. Decline in Christianity,
9. Unemployment, and
10. Urban Decay.
