Towards the end of the Classical error the defining civilizations of this period specifically Rome and China started to gradually decline. One of the initial indications of this increasing decline was the political deterioration that continued to enlarge. In the Mediterranean, the Roman emperors progressively became more despotic in their practices and leadership, as one described these depraved rulers as having “lustful and cruel habits.” There were unclear transfers of power for the throne instigating several internal battles and disputes. Towards the end of the Roman period there were twenty dif

In observing the causes and effects of the declines of the powerful civilizations of the Classical era of Rome and China, various parallelisms and differences are evident. The postclassical period was launched from a previous period of different civilizations enduring similar changes and resolving them using their developed standards. Despite the similar, pattern-like causes of declines in different areas, the outcomes usually result different extremes chiefly because of the distinct cultures that led them inescapably into a decaying period.

Although there were political similarities in the declines of these empires, there were differences in the social causes. As taxes skyrocketed in the Roman Empire, peasants were forced to work under the more powerful landlords or simply underwent poverty and disease. The rising landowners that welcomed these desperate peasants became their own independent economic units foreshadowing the arrival of manorialism in the latter Middle Ages. As this transition to a more decentralized kingdom progressed, commercial ties began to sever as the last unifying force of the empire perished. The peasants’ morale was obviously low as typical Roman epitaphs were, "I was not, I was, I am not, I have no more desires.” The majority of the Roman populace was in a slump and did little to get to a better state. However in China the overtaxing caused many Daoist-led protests by peasants. The leaders of these protests were called the Yellow Turbans and promised a hopeful future. Thus because Chinese peasants cared enough to actively try to fight the o
