Good book, but surely there are empires lasting over 250 years?

Some of those dates seem wrong. I thought the Roman Empire went up til 476 AD. Why 180 AD? Sure it may have split into factions, but it still existed. And I thought the British Empire started in the 1600's, since that's when the British navy started expanding. What does the booklet say about the American Empire though? The American Empire is covert though, like an empire of credit, built on lies of course, not an open dictatorship like other Empires were.

But it shows the same signs of decadence.I dont understand why some people are so obssessed with the timespan of empires. He himself admits not all last 250 years

The British Empire ended in the 1950s when all its territories declared independence including India. The last remnant of it was gone in 1997 when Hong Kong went back to China. That was the last piece of the British Empire.

After WW1, the British Empire was at its peak and benefitted a lot from the first world war. However, since Britain helped engineer the first world war which cost many lives, that brought the British Empire a lot of bad karma. I think that's probably why it ended after that. The reason they started the first world war was because Germany was eclipsing them as the top European manufacturer and trader, and bankrupting the British Empire. Had Britain learned to share its glory with Germany, none of the two world wars would have occurred and the two may have prospered today with a shared empire. That's what greed does. It ruins everything. Human nature is sickening.
