Okay, so I figured I would make this for all of us who are going back to school this fall.  Maybe you need some help with an essay?  Need to get some opinions on something? Or maybe you just need to hear some comments from other people to get your brain working.  Post it here, please. =)

My first question is: 

Consider Prussia, the Soviet Union, Sparta, and others. Why is it that militaristic states never last?

I have it in my head, I just dont know how to get it started.  Undecided

Plain and simply, militaristic states were tyrannic (spelling) and focused solely on their military. According to history, Spartans would drop their babies on their heads and the survivors would become Spartans. In the Soviet Union, Stalin killed more of his own people than Hitler's genocide. Militaristic states kill their own people. >_>

So your essay topic is Why is it that militaristic states never last? Im not any help but ill give it a shot lol The only thing that i can come up with is that they focused to much on military and not enough on what makes a civilization work and run properly. No leadership, Economic problems, corruption and other things that plague a society.

This is a cool idea.  I'm going to sticky this so you can all help each other.  COD - there are plenty of Spanish speaking people on here so you should post what you need help with.

A militaristic state will undoubtedly want to participate in wars (normally for their primary economic gains and to expand their borders), and wars require soldiers to fight.  Thus, many of the country's male citizens will fight and die, keeping the population from ever "booming," and limiting the size of the domestic work force.

Additionally, a militaristic country would probably suffer in terms of international trade.  Who wants to trade with someone who's just as likely to attack your cargo ships as they are to pay you?

On that note, no country wants an aggressive neighbor, and in the case that the militaristic country begins to show its aggression, neighboring countries might ally themselves in order to kill the threat.

Back to domestic issues, there will be little progress except that which relates to modernizing the armed forces.  Literature, music, the arts, biology, chemistry, and physics will likely suffer, or be constrained to that which can be used militarily.  Unless the country has alliances with other advanced countries (such as Prussia with Britain during the Napoleonic Wars), there is very little chance that ideas will be exchanged between the militaristic country and other countries, which again limits progress.

Also, one point to consider in your essay is that NO states exist indefinitely.  It's not just militaristic states that rise and fall, but political unrest and turnover has occurred steadily throughout human history for all civilizations.  It might be worth it to look into this phenomenon in your essay to consider why all civilizations will eventually come to an end.
