I think that there are many reasons why the Roman Empire fell, but I think that one of the main reasons Is that the Empire became to large. Rome was very much about conquering more land and expanding there great empire, however, it turned out to be more of a problem than a good thing. The reason that it did become a problem is that the empire became so large, that it was hard to control all of the cities and all of the people. People started to rebel against the government. I think that this could happen to America, because we do have a tendency to stretch ourselves out to far. We also have the tendency to help when help from us isn�t wanted, I do however not think that this will happen at any time in the near future.
