Why doesn't Revenge and Appeasement work?

          Appeasement doesn't work because doing nothing means you don't have awareness. Before World War II had started (after World War I) France and Britain gave Germany the Treaty of Versailles witch made Germany not allowed to have troops near France or build an army larger than 100,000 troops. Later Germany (Hitler) built a larger Army over 100,000 and had the troops closer to France, and after both of these events France and Britain did nothing. After this Germany then broke the rest of the Treaty and still France and Britain did nothing. On September 1^st, 1939 Hitler starts World War II and attacks Poland. This is how Appeasement does not work.

          Revenge doesn't work because nothing is gained. In World War I Germany and France/Britain went to war. France/Britain tried to defeat the Germans but they were very strong.  Germany then attacked France/Britain causing yet another attack on Germany. While this goes on Germany sends a message to Mexico promising land from the U.S. The U.S. did not like that so the U.S. was then joined on the France/Britain side to fight the Germans, Austria/Hungry, and the Ottoman Empire. The war lasted years of continuous fighting and the French, British and the Americans would win the war but during the time of continuous attacks nothing was being accomplished. Therefore Revenge doesn't work out very well.

IV. Part I:
          The Three Greatest internal problems that will lead the the fall of America are having people from other countries invade us, become to large to control, and diseases that we have never had before to wipe out America.

Part II:

1. The Romans started to fall when the Germans just came into the land and asked for protection from invaders. If this happened to the U.S.A. then we would become very large to be able to protect and then the invaders could take over.

2. The Romans became very large to control and they couldn't protect everybody and the land was very large and the people got out of control, witch led to people to try and help get back together and not think of protection. The U.S.A. is becoming larger, and this could happen because people do not get along and people could try to help.

3. The Romans suffered Black Death. This disease was not herd of by the Romans and the disease came and wiped people out. This could happen to the U.S.A. because there are diseases in other countries that we do not have that we don't have vaccines for.
