In 1812 France was on its way to being the dominant power in Europe. Only Britain and Russia were yet out of its reach...

In 1914 the sun never set on the British Empire.

In 1941 Germany was on its way to being the dominant power in Europe. Only Britain and Russia were yet out of its reach...

In 1949, after Mao took China and allied with Stalin, Communism was on its way to being the dominant power in the world...

It's remarkable how quickly rising dominant powers collapse.

I guess you omitted Rome, because it didn't follow your narrative. We are in fact close to falling, and our dominance has been less than 100 years thus far.

But apparently, you would prefer that we lost dominance, by your post that seems to pop-poo dominance by this nation.

Or is the reality that you suffer from TDS?
