The way I see "western" history unfolding: ancient Greek led to Roman led to powerful led to European led to modern . Common elements include: oppression of women and others, stealing land, creating class differences, and focusing on accumulation of land/wealth with no thought of the consequences. Am I right?

'Empire' by William Dalrymple and Anita Anand looks like another interesting historical podcast series to follow.

From the description: "How do empires rise? Why do they fall? And how have they shaped the world around us today?"

American hubris - New Statesman

The US is addicted to greatness – and haunted by its loss.

Great powers, both past and present, are haunted by three interconnected preoccupations: they are tempted by a sense of national superiority and claims to manifest historic destiny. Those pretensions tend to provoke fears of decline, which then give rise to projects of rebirth.

He appeared to ascend
So we all stood there in awe
Now we have to pretend
We didn't see what we saw
When the curtain unveiled
To the sound of applause
That the king that we hailed
Was the Wizard of Oz

We will break away together
I'll be the shadow
You'll be the light
Nothing ever lasts forever
We will go softly
Into the night

And in nearly all cases of , they weren't destroyed by talks and trade and praise of peace. It took armed resistance until the central power no longer had the will or ability to carry on.
