5. Rome - Made decisions to expand recourses and they be came too spread out. Military conquest meant that the economy of Rome depended less and less on internal production and industry but rather on politics and trade around the wealth won in foreign battle. America- Made decisions similar to Rome. The Military and resources are spread out too thin due to the war over resources.

6. Rome- War effected the Government because it lead to the senate choosing Dictators. Also it lead to Caesar naming himself dictator. America- War has effected the government because it makes it more prone to making decisions that endanger civil rights.
