What does history shows happens to empires or countries that rely on slave labor to survive?

Question

what happens to same countries that not only rely on slave labor, but also a constant need to fight wars, .sometimes multiple ones at same time stretching themselves too thin?

What happens to empires or countries who war, but their people are not willing to actually fight the wars, and rely on mercenaries to fight their wars?

Let me summarize: slave labor, constant war, multiple wars, and stretched thin, not committted enough to fight own wars.......what happens to such countries???

Answer 1

Well, history is clear about that.

The reliance on slaves shows a certain effimination of the populace and so does their unwillingness to fight their own fights.

But one other thing you did not mention is division within the country and civil wars and bickering, and attacking each other's dissent as hating the country, just as the bozo above me just did.

All the things that you mention plus what the bozo just did by calling you an american hater are signs of a country in decline. History tells us when you put all these things together, that the empire is going to crumble.

Answer 2

Well, the Egyptians did pretty well. The Romans did pretty well. The British have done quite well. That's three of the longest-lived civilizations in history that relied heavily on the slave trade, and fought wars continuously throughout their tenure, so one could reasonably conclude that such countries do just fine.

Answer 3

Same thing as any other empire, they will rise, stay for a while and then disappear. In 500 years, the USA will be but a faint brown spot on old history maps.
