Could Rome have conquered all of Europe?
No one has ever succeeded in conquering and uniting the entire European continent, but like Rome, Napoleon is regarded as the one who came the closest to conquering the majority of Europe. His turning point was his defeat in Russia, which led to his empire slowly crumbling back towards the French homeland.
Why didn’t the Romans conquer all of Europe?
The reasons the Romans did not go back to conquer Germania were multiple. Probably the main reason was economic: there was not much of value the Romans could loot and plunder, ongoing trade existed, and it cost money to pay legions. Population density was not high in Germania, and food was not in abundance.
What if the Roman Empire took over the world?
Rome would not have stopped there either until the entire world was Roman. If the entire world had become Roman the entire world would have followed Christianity and there would not have been any Crusades for the promise lands of Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Did Rome ever conquer Germania?
The Romans were able to “conquer” large parts of Germania, briefly. They were unable to HOLD it for any length of time. The reason stemmed from the region’s “backwardness.” There was no central government or central power through which the Romans could operate. There were no cities (except the ones the Romans built).
Why did Rome conquer Europe?
The more wealthy and powerful the Romans became, the more able they were to further expand their empire. The Romans were not content with conquering land near to them. They realised that land further away might also have riches in them that would make Rome even more wealthy. Hence their drive to conquer Western Europe.
Would we be more advanced if Rome never fell?
If Rome had not fallen, we would never have had the Dark Ages. Thus scientific advancement, economic progress and human development would have continued to grow at an exponential pace.
Who conquered Europe?
