Spanish Empire (pride) The Spanish Empire was destroyed by pride because it believed its wealth and power would last forever. Driven by a belief in their unique religious mission as God's chosen, the monarchs entangled the country in endless, devastating wars across the globe. Instead of building a strong economy and developing the nation, they squandered fortunes on conflicts and refused any reforms, ultimately leading the great power to bankruptcy and collapse (this was written by AI because I couldn't put it into words, the rest is mine) Timurid Empire (greed) Timur's descendants started 3 civil wars in 100 years because everyone wanted to rule, before this happened the Timurid Empire had a real chance to rebuild the Mongol Empire British Empire (lust) Actually, lust is not necessarily responsible for the fall of this empire, but Britain, like any other colonial empire, fits in perfectly here. The British wanted every territory in the world and saw conquered peoples as "inferior" Niderlandy (envy) The Netherlands were envious that England was building a bigger colonial empire because 100 years earlier their colonial empire was better, that's why during the American Revolution they joined America despite the alliance with the English (toxic but still an alliance) then the Netherlands was defeated, lost many colonies and dissolved the VOC Qing Dynasty in China (gluttony) In the 18th century, a large part of the Chinese population became addicted to opium, which led to wars with Europeans that in turn destroyed the empire (opium was one of the causes of the fall, and not even the most important one, but it's hard to find another empire for gluttony) Germany 1936-1945 (wrath) After the painful loss of World War I, the German society literally experienced collective trauma and mass adaptation and psychosocial disorders. this both created and destroyed the last [hopefully (because they will lose even more land)] German Reich The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (sloth) I could give here half of the empires that have existed in history (the Qing dynasty would be perfect here, but for gluttony's sake I had nothing else) but I gave Poland because I'm Polish. Polish kings took the easy way out by handing out privileges to the nobility and in the 18th century they did absolutely nothing and the country became backward and was divided (I used a translator to write all this because I don't know English) #map #mapping - @dekoder.official
