The Roman Republic was initiated through ways of war and blood. The Romans always had a strategy as to how they were going to conquer the world. They disagreed with the contrary belief that a government should be run by a king. So, the Romans began their mission to form a Republic by conquering an Italian town; however, the Romans promise to bring riches and good relationships into the area. The conquered people would become a part of their Republic, whether they liked it or not. Even though the Romans were not a very powerful alliance initially, power came with success, and the idea of checks and balances. The Roman Republic only lasted 500 years.
