Description
In “The Rise and Fall of the Western Empire,” the author presents the history of Western empire since the ancient Egyptian to Western countries today that share common interests and values. From the ancient empires of Egypt and Rome to the present-day Western Empire, the book covers the evolution of this world order and how it has shaped history.
One of the defining features of the Western Empire is its shared Christian heritage and commitment to democratic government, capitalism, and international law. The author explains how this has led to the formation of alliances such as NATO and SEATO, which have united countries across the Western world in pursuit of common goals.
The book also delves into the Western Empire’s challenges in recent years. The 2012 Global Financial Crisis is explored as an event that has led to a decline in Western affluence, and the author notes that the fighting between the Democratic and Republican parties in the US has pushed the country to the brink of another civil war. Meanwhile, China’s rise as an economic power has upset the balance of trade, and the author warns of the dangers of foreign ownership of American businesses and land.
Whether you are interested in the history of empires, the workings of modern international politics, or the challenges facing the Western world in the 21st century, this book is a must-read.
