War of the Usurper

Elizabethan kings to the ordinary and cunning demeanour of modern day politicians and rebels, the intrigue with the power of the political realm unites the multitudes. But what type of leader arouses the masses to commit to his cause? Is it the Usurper? Like king Henry brought up on the backbone of royalty yet completely dismissive of the divine right. Or is it the Machiavellian Prince, Harry, who employs duplicity and control to emerge victorious in any and all circumstances. Better yet, what is

The Roman Empire was one of the biggest and most influential empires in history. At its height it looked like they would never be defeated but in the late 5th century they were.

Military defeats led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Goths came into the Empire in 376 and never left, ravaging the empire for years and eventually

External pressures, such as the threat of barbarian invasion, worsened internal tensions such as economic depressions, civil war and an unstable administrative structure due to the growing influence and power of the army.
