Rome ruled Europe for hundreds of years, why didn t it make Europe a unified country?

Upstairs is a bit biased, the concept of the Han nation was formed in the Han Dynasty, that is to say, the pre-Qin states were not the main body of the Han nationality, and the cultural identity of each other was not as high as that of later generations, in fact, at that time, Chu culture was considered incompatible with the Central Plains culture.

One of the reasons why Rome did not make Europe a state was because it was eventually ended by the great migration of peoples brought about by the invasion of the Huns, and the Germanic people from the east bank of the Rhine devastated half of the empire, and the ethnic composition of these places was changed, such as the Gauls in Gaul, the Celts in Britain, the population declined sharply, the dominant people became Germanic, and the Roman culture was almost destroyed, if it were not for the translation of the ancient Greek texts of Byzantium into Arabic, the whole of Greece- Roman culture is about to be lost completely. To this day, Western Europe can still be said to be a Germanic cultural sphere.

This concept needs to be clarified.

The pre-Qin states of China were the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty.

That is, a country is divided into many small countries.

And it is dominated by the Han nationality.

This Han nation is indeed very uncomfortable to use, but there is no borrowing from generation to generation. The concept of this nation is in a broad sense, an ethnic group living in China, not a Han nationality in a narrow sense. )

As for the cultural misfit. It seems to be a difference in regional culture.

There are such differences within any country.

The European countries are independent countries.

Each has its own history and culture.

Nationalities are also different.

No unified nation was formed.

Since the fall of the Western Roman Empire, barbarism has triumphed over civilization, and nearly a thousand years of the Dark Middle Ages have come.

The loss of European cultural heritage, cultural disconnect. Social regression, many barbarian states are in power, fighting each other endlessly, the Black Death is ravaging, the population is plummeting, in order to prevent the Black Death, open Europe that has not bathed for thousands of years.

It was not until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Renaissance, the Europeans regained their lost cultural heritage, the rapid development of society, the destruction of Eastern Rome in Turkey, and the forced opening of the Great Voyage in Europe, the Middle Ages ended.

After the defeat of Carthage, Rome's financial, manpower, and material resources had reached a very high level, and the increase in land and the possession of a large number of slaves had also inflated people's greed and desire for possession, and the original republican system could no longer meet the new needs. That's why Octavian founded the Roman Empire.

Abyss of political, economic, cultural, military influence!!

In 510 BC, the Romans expelled the former kingly tyrant Lucius Tarquinus Superbus, ending the Roman Empire and establishing the Roman Republic. The state consists of the Senate, the Consuls, and the Gonda Council. The Senate, which held real power in the country, consisted of aristocrats.

The consuls were elected from among the nobility by a group of 100 people, and exercised supreme executive power. The tribal assembly is composed of the male Pingchao and the male noble sedan filial piety.

First of all, the plebeians were the core figures of Roman society, gradually surpassing the aristocracy, but the behavior of the nobles to take Zen also made people jealous and dissatisfied, and with the increase of contradictions, the blood relationship was purified and purified, and began to be influenced by the concept of region, and the Roman Republic was established under this promotion.

Because the Roman culture was particularly well developed and was a very harmonious country, with the progress of society, the people's ideas and wishes gradually improved, and finally the form of the republic was closed.

In Europe, religion and imperial power have been co-ordinating since ancient times, and if the emperor makes any decisions, it must be made not only through the aristocratic parliament, but also through the consent of the religious leader, the pope. Otherwise, you want to fight other countries? Don't even think about it.

In addition, the traces of the small state and oligarchy politics in the ancient Greek period in the bloodline of the European political system, there is so much land, and there are so many people who can supply production, if you want to fight a protracted war, this is not good for either side involved in the war. Since ancient times, the two countries on the European side have fought each other, and they have to make peace not long after the war, and there is no such thing as annexing and reunifying at every turn; if they can fight and govern, the regime will still be shaken in the end, and this temporary reunification is meaningless.

Because there was no empire in Europe as powerful as the ancient Roman Empire, it did not have the ability to unify Europe.
