Rome and the United States

Today in class we talked about Rome. We mainly talked about how the Roman Empire fell because they had so much land to cover and rule. This lead them to disaster. Many people today think that the same thing will happen to the United States, because we are going strong now just like Rome was. Although at any time we could collapse; having nothing. This sort of thing may happen in the future but not any time soon (hopefully). We talked about this because this could be an option for our project to do on Rome.
