Empire Builders - Episode 2: The Roman Empire - A Millenium of Conquest | History Documentary The Roman Empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, political and military force in the world of its time and became one of the largest empires in world history. At its height under Emperor Trajan, it covered 5 million square kilometres, holding sway over an estimated 70 million people, at that time 21% of the world's entire population, controlling large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa and The Middle East. For 500 years the city of Rome was the largest city in the world .The longevity and vast extent of the empire , ruled for its entirety from Rome, ensured the lasting influence of Latin and Greek language, culture, religion, inventions, architecture, philosophy, law and forms of government on the empire's descendants. In this episode of Empire Builders we explore ten sites that defined the Roman Empire. We begin at the battle site of Alesia in Eastern France where Caesar defeated the Gauls in 53BC. His adopted son, Augustus, regarded as the greatest of Roman Emperors, expanded the empire during his 41 year reign and began many grand construction projects completed in subsequent decades. Among these were magnificent temples such as the Maison Caree in Nimes, France, and amphitheatres such as the 6,000 seat theatre that survives in Merida, Spain. The Romans also built massive and monumental aqueducts like Pont du Gard, their highest, in southern France and giant stadiums and arenas across the empire modelled on the Colloseum in Rome. Rome's empire was built on power and conquest. They invented the victory arch. Its not surprising Rome's ingenious and ground breaking building methods were copied by successive European empires and still are today. Perhaps Rome's greatest building was the Pantheon but we also visit great palaces such as Diocletians Palace in Split, Croatia and huge public baths like those of Caracalla in Rome itself.

Mao's Red Terror in China | History Documentary When Mao Zedong called for the “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution” in China in 1966, the giant empire plunged into a decade of terror. In the name of communist ideology, China’s fanatical youth formed “Red Guards” and established a despotic rule in which children had their parents arrested, neighbors denounced each other, and unleashed mobs to beat “class enemies” to death. Its initiator Mao Zedong, who rose from a farmer’s son in the provinces to become the “Great Chairman” of the Chinese Communist Party, had united the Middle Kingdom after decades of civil wars – and proclaimed the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Thus, it transformed modern China into a new power factor in the Cold War of the great powers. When Mao met US President Richard Nixon shortly before his death, the disintegrating former Chinese empire had become a global economic power. The revolutionaries accepted the death of millions of people through the Red Terror as well as the destruction of civil society – a trauma from which China still suffers today.

The Soviet Union was officially formed in 1922, a country, a political experiment, an ideal, a great scar across history… Officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR was a one-party state, governed, controlled, and tormented by a single-party rule. That of the Communist Party. No nation has inflicted such destruction on its own population in the name of progress. Power corroded the leadership, leaving the masses to suffer in the name of history. The very people who were supposed to be governing themselves. There are many factors that affected the Soviet Union’s turbulent history, but the sheer ungovernable vastness of the country was inescapable. It was a nation the size of a continent stretching from Moscow to Vladivostok and from Leningrad to Stalingrad. What we might consider European Russia was dwarfed by the reaches of Siberia. Enacting any kind of policy took force. Complicated, contradictory figureheads would come and go, men, who held this impossible country it seemed by sheer will. Stalin the despot-hero whose cruelty knew few bounds united a nation to defeat Hitler. Khrushchev the crafty libertarian, who preached reform yet allowed an arms race to escalate. Brezhnev, that unreadable member of the old guard, sent history backward. And of course, Gorbachev, who brought vast change, modernization, and détente, yet saw the Soviet Union collapse under his rule – the untenable nation. Over many painful years, this vast country locked itself away from the rest of the world, paranoid, economically uncertain, and repressive, while still casting a vast shadow across the world. The 20th century was shaped by its convulsions, its purges, its wars, and its leaders. Free Documentary - History is dedicated to bringing high-class documentaries to you on Rumble for free.
