Why Revenge and Appeasement Do Not Work

            If you look at history through out the years you would see that the act of Revenge does not work. Reason for that being is that if a country #1 try’s to get back at country #2 for something that happened in the past it can lead to war because country #2 might just want to do something harmful to country #1 a second time, then allies get involved, and then that normally leads to a world war. This has happened before; in fact that is exactly how World War 2 started. It all started with the Treaty of Versailles, the treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended WW1, the treaty had many rules/ restrictions for the countries involved to follow, however the treaty was most unfair to Germany. This made the people of Germany mad, it made one man in particular very mad, that mans name was Adolf Hitler. He wanted revenge, so he did not follow the treaty; in fact he did many things against the treaty, like to build an Army, and an Air Force. When Hitler got his revenge on Great Britain other countries got involved which resulted in WW2.

            Appeasement is another strategy that just did not seem to work through out history. If a country decides to use the strategy of appeasement, this means that if country #2 was being threatened by country #1, country #2 decides not to act because they think it will all just stop, until it gets to late and country #2 gets attacked. This same kind of thing happened before WW2, because Germany was going to get back at Great Britain, but Great Britain wasn’t worried, they thought that they were protected by their surrounding countries, but it turns out they weren’t.

The fall of The Roman Empire

            The Direct cause of the Roman Empire was how the Germans that were protecting Roman Land let In German tribes such as the Vandals, and the Huns. By doing this It was very easy from that point on for the tribes to take over, the German tribes didn’t wonder why it was so easy they just saw it as if your pounding on a door and it wont open and then right when you stop knocking it opens, you don’t question, you just attack. It was easy because the Romans had Germans help them protect their land at the borders/ boundaries. This reminds me about that that time when the USA was in the moon race of the 1960s, when Neil Armstrong got to the moon he didn’t say this is so easy why has no body done this before, he just enjoyed it. I believe that these are the emotions that the German tribes felt when they were successful in their take over of the Roman Empire.

As less people want to join the army Rome hires mercenaries, mainly
from Germanic tribes, to protect the borders of the Roman Empire.






Without the Emperor in the Western half of the Empire, the West half of
the Roman Empire declines in importance.



Diocletian and later Constantine split the Empire in two to try and make
it more manageable. Both chose to rule from the East half.


Without the Emperor in the Western half of the Empire, the West half of
the Roman Empire declines in importance.


Trying to solve the problems Emperors begin to limit peoples freedom.



Because of limits and restrictions on personal freedom less people
support the Empire. This is especially true for the army as fewer and
fewer Romans are willing to join.

to settle on Roman lands.




The Huns migrated into Europe and begin taking land from the
