I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING why civilisations collapse - This is the list I have compiled of contributing factors to societal collapse: Plague / disease Environmental change Massive wealth inequality Loss of the administrative class The government stops governing Attack from the outside - now includes cyber attack Loss of faith in the political system Economic collapse Exposed obvious corruption Crumbling infrastructure Mismanagement of a crisis Societal division Loss of belief in the unity of the society Restriction of international trade / loss of trade agreements Increased isolationism Rising internal violence Excessive spending on military / arms race Inability to maintain the currency - hoarding / devaluation / hyper inflation If a majority of things on the list happen to a civilisation simultaneously, it is invariably the end for that civilisation. If all happen at the same time, it's guaranteed to be the end. The USSR collapsed with 9 out of the 18.
