Its possible.
During the mid-1930's when Hitler's murderous plans were still in the future, Huey Long predicted that the man (and Germany as well) would come to a bad end.
Long concluded from a study of history that nations that oppressed the Jews - he cited ancient Egypt, medieval Spain, and Czarist Russia - declined and never recovered their greatness.
I don't agree with 99% of Huey Long's ideas or opinions, but this one has a ring of truth about it.

Yes, I forgot the Zarist Russia, the Medieval Spain and the Arab Khaliphate, and the Ottoman Empire. Amazing, ain't it?

I have my own theory on why the enemies of the Jews all went into decline and it stands regardless of one's religious beliefs. The Jews have prospered for millenia because the values they hold- respect for life, justice, property and personal responsibility- are values that make a culture strong. The OT is quite clear on what happens to the Israelites when they ignore those values. Because the enemies of the Jews reject the values that give them strength, it should come as no surprise that they all fail.
