Timeline
The Empire survived decades of war before falling in 476 A.D. and was taken over
by the German chieftain, Odoacer.
The Catholic church was incapable of ruling, as it was more urban than rural.
The fall of the Roman Empire brought about the dark ages and decreased the
quality of life.
The dark ages lasted from 500 A.D. to 1500 A.D. (the beginning of the
Renaissance).
Modern History
In the 1900s, Rome went through a lot of complications, such as: another
separation of the country, bombing throughout World War II, and an
assassination attempt on the pope.
There were also good time through this period like the beginning of the EUR
(Esposizione Universale Roma), a residential and business district in Rome, the
treaty of Rome was made, and the 1960 Olympics were hosted with great
success.
Changes in Geography
The Roman Empire dominated the most of Europe and many parts of Africa and the Middle East.
Constantine split the empire into two halves. The eastern half became the Byzantine Empire, and
its capital became Constantinople, while the capital of the western Roman Empire remained Rome.
