Military conquests were really important for Rome's growth, but they also caused some big issues. Let's break it down simply:

• Resource Drain: Constant wars used up a lot of Rome’s money and soldiers.
• Rebellion Risk: The places Rome conquered didn’t always want to obey their rules, which caused fights.
• Cultural Tensions: Mixing different cultures made it tough to keep everything running smoothly.

To solve these problems, Rome needed to:

1. Set up better local governments.
2. Encourage people from different cultures to get along through communication and cooperation.
3. Use smart and long-lasting military plans.
