World Civilization 115.01




1. The text states that "The Roman Republic from the first found itself engaged in almost

continuous warfare with its neighbors." Why do you think this was so? Was there more

the Republic could have done to foster peace? Is warfare an unavoidable result of

creating an empire?



I think that the Roman Republic found itself in continuous warfare with its neighbors for

security and territorial reasons. They fought many defensive wars, and they sought to gain their

neighbors territory to avoid being attacked. They basically wanted to secure that their neighbors

would not attack form those territories by overtaking them; therefore, allowing a less threat for

them to be attacked. The Republic could have done a lot more to foster peace.

They could have peacefully settled an agreement with the neighboring territories by

communicating rather than fighting. Also, they all could have combined together to become a

stronger force amongst other places which would have benefited them all and led to fewer

attacks amongst themselves.

When creating an empire, warfare is unavoidable because it is inevitable. I say this because

not only did the neighbors of the Roman Republic oppose a threat to them, but also the outside

civilizations did, too. Therefore, if the Roman Republic were not fighting with their neighbors to

conquer each other’s territory then another civilization would have eventually tried to overtake

them as well or vice versa.

2. In spite of unpromising beginnings, Christianity was enormously successful by the

fourth century C.E.. What difficulties did early Christians face as they sought to spread

their faith? What accounts for their success?



Early Christians faced various difficulties when they sought to spread their faith. They faced

“the opposition of the imperial government and suffered formal persecution.” This is because the

traditionally the Romans’ disliked the private association of Christianity and made the

membership in the Christian society to be a crime. The early Christians were persecuted by mobs

separating those who were faithful to the religion from the weak amongst the group.

Overcoming adversity accounts mostly for their success because remained faithful and

showed dedication and devotion to Christianity. Another thing that accounts for their success

was that Christianity eventually became the official religion of the empire.



3. According to the Gospels, was Jesus of Nazareth an actual historical figure? If so, do you

believe it is difficult to reconcile Jesus the figure in history with Jesus the "Son of God"?

Given the nature of the Biblical compilation, how reliable is the source in terms of its

justification of Jesus' actual existence?

According to the Gospels, Jesus of Nazareth was recognized as an actual historical figure. It

said that to the Gospel writers, Jesus’ resurrection was the proof of his teachings. I do not believe

it difficult to reconcile Jesus of historical figure to the Jesus of the “Son of God” because it was

his purpose to teach the people on Earth. For instance, the “Son of God,” Jesus, was said to have

been brought upon this Earth to “bring immortality to those who believed in him and followed
