If the Eastern and Western Roman empires didn't fall to barbarian tribes and the Roman empire was still intact and the most powerful nation in the world where would the world be today? Would the human race be a lot more advanced then what they are now because the dark ages would have never come to pass? Or would everything remain the same as it was back in 400AD where the world was still consumed with living by the sword?

We have no idea. Thread over.

Anyway, I really don't know, it all depends on how they would choose to rule. If they slowly expanded and eventually controlled like the whole world, then we'd probably be speaking Latin, though otherwise I'd think that we'd have progressed to at least a similar state to today, maybe a bit farther ahead, or a bit farther back, depending on things such as luck, and, as I said, the way the Romans chose to rule.

jpklla, that doesn't mean we can't speculate.

I think we would probally be alot more advanced than we are right now......but it would be alot cooler if the entire world stayed the same as it was in 400AD.

Ok fine. I think the world would be similar to now. Somewhat similar technologies. Just that it was invented my Romans and other peoples. But there would be a crappy ruler named Georgius Bush II waging war against hippies like Punkus.

Whatever. Speculating is stupid. I'll go back into my hole...

Yes, this was a fairly stupid thread I have no idea why I made it, but since I did... It's a sure thing to say none of us would exist, it's amazing to look back and realise that we came to be the individuals that we are today from events big and small like large empires falling or your great grandfather hating the weather in the country he originated. We are on this planet from a series of unlikley events that would have had worse odds then a dead horse winning a Kuntucky Derby, looking at it this way we are very lucky to be here. Anyway, I would be surprised if we wern't a lot more advanced then what we are today, if the Romans still reigned supreme, by at least hundreds of years, the dark ages halted human progress by 500 years possibly more.

We're sorry if you're not good at thinking intelligently.
