I suggest looking just a tiny bit further into history for a realy eye opening event.
The fall of the Roman Empire compares to current affairs of the United States.

I was trying to go into more believable events, though yes, teh Roman Empire's collapse is another flawless comparison.
If you'll recall, really no major empire has lasted much longer than 400 years.
Most don't last more than 150-200. We're right at that cutoff point.

problem that will compound the economic situation. But I'm expecting, and mostly hoping, that
this
happens first, which would almost certainly render these merely economic issues irrelevant.
