A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words
The rise and fall of empires is a constant theme in history. The Roman Empire, for example, once dominated a vast territory. They solidified their control with treaties, ensuring loyalty from conquered lands. However, centuries of internal struggles, including the rise and fall of different dynasties vying for power, eventually led to a revolution. Even after the empire’s decline, its influence remained. The Colosseum, a towering monument to gladiatorial combat, stands as a testament to their greatness. Meanwhile, some former Roman colonies, empowered by the revolution, eventually grew into powerful nations themselves, forever altering the political landscape.
