Has there been an example of a societal collapse in history, that was not due to an outside force? I guess eastern Rome maybe. I guess I just can’t imagine a country falling into disarray without it being America’s fault in some way.
Yes, usually from climate change and agricultural practices: Sumer/Akkad, Indus Valley, Late Bronze Age (Mediterranean), Norse, Angkor, Maya, Cahokia, Tiwanaku, and probably many others.
Syria is the most common modern example, but clearly there were other factors at play too including the US.
