    What it is going to come down to is Water tribe ships fighting the Fire Nation fleet as a spearhead into the mainland of the Fire Nation with the reminding Earth Kingdom troops during the eclipse. There is most likely some Earth Kingdom cities out in the Earth Kingdom with troops ready to fight. But they would have to unite together as one nation and not just a collection of city states. This could be one of the reasons why the Fire Nation is having a easy time running around the countryside in the Earth Kingdom. Because the Earth Kingdom is set up in a feudal system hierarchy you tend to end up with city states who disagree with their neighbors. If the Earth Kingdom was a united front or a Nation then they could have held back the Fire Nation, but since it is all kingdom based the Fire Nation could make deals with different city states. Like asking for military access to another city state in return for not being attacked and being left to rule. Or maybe for some lands from the Fire Nations conquest of their neighbors.

    The war aint over, you wanna know why, cause Bumi is still alive, and sooner or later he is gonna bust out, unite the earth kingdoms and lead a suicide attack against the FN, but because he is insane will think up a plan that will make it less suicidal and more brilliant.

    For all expense and purposes the war is over. The Fire Nation seems to have no problems wandering the countryside of the Earth Kingdom, Ba Sing Se has been conquered, because all Azula has to do is have a message sent out (under the guise as a message from the Earth King) for all the guards to go home or enter a Fire Nation trap. And since the Fire Nation siege of the North failed I don't think the Fire Nation wants to try anything there anytime soon, or at least until the comet comes, or whenever they can maneuver more troops into that area.

    The capitol of the Earth Kingdom has fallen but that doesn't necessarily mean that the entire nation has... Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, Rome didn't fall in a day either.

    That being said, the war continues, though is looking extremely good for the fire nation right now, and the EK will fall completely without proper intervention soon. The gAang really better hurry up now!

    But Rome was sacked in three days in 410 AD. Many people consider this the end of the Western Roman Empire since the Western Roman Empire was effectively open to raids by Germanic tribes and rebellions and Rome was unable to do anything about it thus falling apart and being ruled by non Romans. Sure you could say it ended when Romulus Augustus went into retirement in 476 AD being he was of little importance to anyone. But for all intense and purposes it ended at the sack.

    The Western Roman empire fell, but not the Eastern, the Eastern still survived for many more decades.

    But I agree that EK fell in pretty much a couple days. The FN pounding on the walls from the outisde did little to help overtake it. It was pretty much all Azula.

    Well yeah, depending on who you ask the Eastern Roman Empire lasted from either 330 AD(When Constantine I refounds Byzantium, renames it New Rome, and moves the capital of the Roman Empire there from Rome.) to May 29, 1453 or from 17 January 395(The east west split) to 1453. But either way the Eastern Roman Empire lasted over 1000 years, where as the Western Empire lasted about 507 years or from September 2, 31 BC to 476 AD or when Romulus Augustus leaves office and the Western Roman Empire officially ends.
