Summary of Unit / InquiryThis unit of inquiry for students in World History I begins with the establishment of the Roman Republic. Students will proceed to learn how the growth of the Roman Republic eventually led to the establishment of the Roman Empire in Western Europe. As we analyze Rome's progression from a small village into a republic, students will see how the changes in Roman leadership had an influence on the development of the Roman Empire. As the unit comes to an end, students will understand that even though the Roman Empire eventually declined, its influence still survives in much of the world today.
