contributions of ancient greek civilization 1000-300 bc - Classical Greece began with the repelling of a
Persian invasion by Athenian leadership. Because of conquests by Alexander the Great, Hellenistic
civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea had a powerful
influence on the Roman EmpireThe city-states formed themselves into two leagues; the Achaean League
(including Thebes, Corinth and Argos) and the Aetolian League (including Sparta and Athens). For much
of the period until the Roman conquest, these leagues were usually at war with each other, and/or allied
to different sides in the conflicts between the Diadochi (the successor states to Alexander's empire).
The Antigonid Kingdom became involved in a war with the Roman Republic in the late 3rd century.
ancient roman society - The Greek peninsula came under Roman rule in 146 BC conquest of Greece after
the Battle of Corinth. Macedonia became a Roman province while southern Greece came under the
surveillance of Macedonia's praefect; however, some Greek poleis managed to maintain a partial
independence and avoid taxation. Greece was a key eastern province of the Roman Empire, as the
Roman culture had long been in fact Greco-Roman. The Greek language served as a lingua franca in the
East and in Italy, and many Greek intellectuals such as Galen would perform most of their work in
Rome.In its approximately 12 centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an
aristocratic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. Through conquest and assimilation, it came to
dominate Southern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa, parts of Northern Europe, and
parts of Eastern Europe. Rome was preponderant throughout the Mediterranean region and was one of
the most powerful entities of the ancient world. It is often grouped into "Classical Antiquity" together
with ancient Greece, and their similar cultures and societies are known as the Greco-Roman worldThe
Romans are still remembered today, including names such as Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Augustus.
Ancient Roman society contributed greatly to government, law, politics, engineering, art, literature,
architecture, technology, warfare, religion, language, society and more in the Western world. A
civilization highly developed for its time, Rome professionalized and greatly expanded its military and
created a system of government called res publica, the inspiration for modern republic. had areas that
surrounded the Mediterranean sea.
, alexander the great - The conquests of Alexander had numerous consequences for the Greek city-states.
It greatly widened the horizons of the Greeks and led to a steady emigration, particularly of the young
and ambitious, to the new Greek empires in the east.[19] Many Greeks migrated to Alexandria, Antioch
and the many other new Hellenistic cities founded in Alexander's wake, as far away as what are now
Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom and the Indo-Greek Kingdom survived
until the end of the 1st century BC.
collapse of classical China - About 100 A.D. the Han started to decline. The bureaucracy became corrupt
and the power of the central government weakened. Local landlords became more powerful as
government control and supervision declined. They increased the tax burden on the peasants and took
many of their farms. As peasant unrest grew, a revolutionary movement emerged called the Yellow
Turban. The Yellow Turbans were Daoists; their attempts at revolution failed.Compounding this political
weakness and peasant unrest was the effect of several devastating epidemics that wiped out nearly half
the population. With all this internal turmoil, the weakened Han dynasty could not fend off the advance
of the Hun invaders. Even though the Han fell and initiated a period of chaos, there was not a
permanent disruption of Chinese civilization. Briefly, the Sui dynasty ruled. Then in 618 the Tang dynasty
emerged as one of the most glorious in Chinese history. They reinstated Confucian thought and revived
and improved upon the Han style of bureaucracy. After the Hun invasions and the fall of the Han
dynasty, the Chinese never had to reinvent their civilization.
collapse of classical India - After the death of Ashoka, the Mauryan dynasty became financially weak and
could not hold together the empire. They were finished off by an invasion by Bactria, the Greek speaking
empire formed in the wake of Alexander the Great's invasion. Even though the northwest part of India
became unstable, a new regional family rose to unite most of the subcontinent into another empire.
This family was the Gutpas and formed the second half of India's classical age.The Gupta Empire was not
as centralized as the Mauryans under Ashoka. They remained divided into regions where local politicians
made most of the laws and decisions. When the Huns attacked, the empire easily fell apart along the
fault lines of the local regions. Interestingly, after the fall of the Gutpas the invading Huns simply
integrated into the warrior caste of Hinduism and ruled the regions locally. With the social structure of
India intact, much of its culture survived. The ruling warriors, however, had no use for the peaceful and
contemplative religion of Buddhism, and its influence declined during this time as a result. Hinduism
gained ground that it had lost under Ashoka. After the Guptas, Indian trade and prosperity hardly missed
a beat until Muslim traders gained control of the Indian Ocean. However, Indian classical culture was
preserved through Hinduism and the caste system. India remained divided into separate regions for a
very long time. The next major threat, however, would come from Islam. Indeed, the next time India
would be united again it would be in the 16th century under the Islamic Mughal dynasty.
fall of Rome - As the Roman Empire grew, it required more soldiers to patrol its borders and frontiers.
This brought a high tax burden on a population that was decreasing because of plague and poverty.
Likewise, Rome Emperors and the upper classes adopted increasingly luxurious and extravagant
lifestyles at the expense of the tax paying citizens. This cause not only great resentment among the
