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.
