Why Every Empire Collapses Under Debt – Rome, Spain, Britain… Is the US Next?

Описание: Why Every Empire Collapses Under Debt – Rome, Spain, Britain… Is the US Next?

Why do all empires eventually collapse? Not mainly from wars or invasions — but from something far more predictable: unpayable debt.
In this in-depth documentary, we trace the same fatal financial pattern across 2,000 years:
Roman Empire: Centuries of coin debasement, inflation, and hidden deficits that hollowed out the economy long before 476 AD
Habsburg Spain: Flood of New World silver → massive overreach → repeated bankruptcies & loss of Europe
British Empire: Reserve currency privilege → World Wars → postwar debt explosion → rapid decolonization
The mechanism is almost mathematical:
Easy money & borrowing fuels expansion
Obligations grow exponentially while real economy grows linearly
Debasement, defaults, inflation buy time… but destroy trust
Productive capacity erodes → slow internal collapse
Is the United States — with $36+ trillion debt, rising interest payments, and reserve currency status — repeating the exact same stages in 2025?
