American empire is collapsing - just like the Spanish one before
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Dmitry Kosyrev [RIA] America was warned for a long time by smart people, their own historians. Gloomy predictions and parallels with the death of either the British or the Roman Empire, dressed in book covers, could be seen on store shelves in the United States at the dawn of the century. At first they were not particularly noticed, but then discussions on this topic became more intense. And now something new: the old professor Thomas Litsom, having read the article of his student, Taggart Murphy, sadly noted that Taggart himself was already a professor, and wrote something smart. Namely, that the decline of the American empire is more similar to the experience not of Rome or Britain, but of Spain . The world's first superpower. And it’s true: Rome or, say, China were not world empires, but regional ones. The Spaniards didn’t just conquer the whole world - but the entire future Latin America , the Philippines and part of Europe , for the first time in world history creating trade routes that encircled the entire globe. But then this structure collapsed. Posted by: badanov 2023-09-18 |
