The Roman Empire didn't fall because of one invasion. It fell because the currency was debased until soldiers refused to fight for it. The Spanish Empire didn't collapse because it lost a war. It collapsed because it spent its wealth conquering instead of building. The British Empire didn't end because the colonies suddenly got stronger. It ended because maintaining global control became more expensive than the empire was worth. Every empire in history has ended the same way: military overextension drains the treasury, the currency gets debased to cover the shortfall, domestic infrastructure crumbles while resources flow to the periphery, and eventually the center can't hold. The pattern is 100% consistent across 3,000 years of recorded history.
