Will all the realms fail eventually? Ozymandias sonnet, written by Percy Bysshe Shelley refers to an idea that kingdoms’ and empires’ destiny is to crumble eventually. Indeed, we have seen several cases throughout the history when an empire grew by leaps and bounds and suddenly collapsed: due to the malfunction of ruling or maybe because it was defeated by another growing empire. Several theories are based on the idea, that a nation or a realm can not expand after a while and if it does so, it would collapse. On the one hand, it can be clearly observed that as an empire start to conquer other nations ruling and management becomes harder: barriers occur in case of culture, language and religion. Conquered nations try to hinder the function of the new empire and might make a revolution or support another country that could liberate them. On top of that, as a realm became larger so does the power of the ruler and during the heyday of the realm many inappropriate emperors embark on bad decision or battles that could weaken their realm and thus it would be easily conquered by another. Some empire that has fallen are for instance the Roman, the Ottoman or Spanish empire. On the other hand, Kingdoms and Unions can be spotted throughout the world, which incorporates several nations, some are such as, but not limited the United Kingdom. Although Britain had lost massive amounts of land it remained as a Kingdom since a thousand year, including Scotland, Northern-Ireland, Wales and England. Furthermore, Britain is considered to be part of the G7, which means that it has an advanced economy so far. As far as I am concerned as after an empire reaches the prosperity and greatness it would eventually fail, maybe because it grows further, has an economic crisis or thinks that it could not be conquered. Nevertheless, these empires created great advancements throughout the history and remained in papers for good.
