Han and Rome Webquest--DUE 12/17

THE HAN AND ROMAN EMPIRES: STABILITY AND ORDER

 

In class, we have studied the development of two contemporary empires, Rome and Han China.  Both empires were able to promote political stability for hundreds of years in the lands they controlled.  In the process, they spread their culture.  One way that order and stability was pursued was through military strategy.  Both the Romans and the Han created huge land empires.

 

To complete each assignment below, use the links at the bottom of the page, as well as information from your textbook.  You will need this information to write a comparative essay later in the week…maybe.

 

Assignment #1:  Study maps of both empires.  Compare and contrast the geographical scope of each.  What did they have in common?  What are some of the differences? (Hint: study the geographical features) How much ethnic diversity was there in each empire?  How did the empires secure their borders?  How the Romans and Han Chinese promoted military security.

 

Assignment #2: The Romans and the Han Chinese also shared many of the same strategies in promoting the authority of the central government.  Both political systems gave broad powers to emperors.  Each system had many methods of promoting the emperor’s authority.  How did each empire promote the authority of the emperor?  What were the emperors expected to do for the empire?  Why were people supposed to submit to their authority?

 

Assignment #3: Through the political office of the emperor, the Romans and the Han Chinese were able to centralize the power of the central government.  Read the information on the websites for assignment 3.  Using the broad powers of these specific emperors, how were these two able to strengthen the power of the central government?  How did they use this power to promote order and stability?  What did they do?
