In my study of history there seems to be a "law of empires" which basically states that the faster an empire is built up the faster it comes tumbling down. Two examples of the latter are the huge British gains in the French and Indian War of 1756 to 1763--which they lost in less than a generation when the American colonists rebelled, and the Axis victories in World War 2 that gave way to disaster for said Axis. Have many people here noticed this?
