Empires that collapsed not by military conquest didn’t know that they had collapsed until years later.
- cgio 2y agoIs there any Empire that collapsed without military conquest? You can argue the collapse predated the conquest, but there’s always a conquest to seal the deal.
- murderfs 2y agoThe British Empire didn't collapse due to military conquest by the Germans, it fell due to economic conquest by the United States (see the Atlantic Charter and U.S. intervention in the Suez Crisis).
