00:00Every empire looks invincible until it collapses in a weekend.
00:03The Soviet Union, a nuclear superpower with 300 million people, collapsed in three days
00:08in 1991.
00:09The Ottoman Empire ruled half the world for 600 years, gone after one war.
00:13Even Rome, which ruled for a thousand years, vanished under its own weight.
00:17Empires don't fall because they're weak, they fall because they think they are too
00:20strong to fall.
00:21According to Ibn Khaldun, a sociologist, nearly 700 years ago, societies rise on strong social
00:27unity, but fall when luxury, corruption and loss of values hollow them from inside.
00:31A reminder, injustice never lasts forever.
00:34The map always redraws, the invincible always cracks.
00:37So if you feel powerless against an empire today, just remember history.
00:41Power doesn't last, resistance does.
