Can someone give me 3 specific examples how governments/societies can fail and cease to exist?

Question

period between 3000 B.C. and 1648 A.D.

Answer 1

Sparta,Rome,Egypt,Mesopotamia,Troy

Answer 2

All societies fail for these various, and sometimes overlapping, reasons.

1) War, either invasion or civil war.
2) Pestilence. An example would be the Byzantine Empire.
3) Drought/Famine
4) Volcanoes. See the Minoan civilization.
5) Corruptness or waste of resources, e.g., the Roman Empire.

There are some others, but you should also do your homework.

Answer 3

hard to say, most societies don't up and up disappear, they get assimilated into other cultures or get swallowed up by invaders (e.g. the romans), but if i had to answer,

the trojans got pretty wiped out. but later became etruscans and then romans

the picts of scotland eventually got assmilated into a different culture.

also i just found a wiki page on a book describing collapsed cultures which may be some help to you:

the examples it gives are pretty good and can be crossreferenced to give you more info.

Answer 4

Greed and lust for two (that would be from within) and enemies (that would be from an outside force) This would be a perfect example of the Roman Empire.

Answer 5

George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Jeb Bush.
