Implode or Explode — https://planetarystatusreport.com/?p=5669

Implode vs Explode is NOT all or nothing, it’s always a hybrid.

Implosions: tend to be less catastrophic in terms of EXTERNAL war, and more catastrophic internally.

Explosions: tend to be bad internally, but as bad or even worse in terms of neighbors.

Short, incomplete, list for discussion.

*** empires can also be destroyed by BIGGER empires … “consumption” or “subsumption” … this is a different topic …

1. Explode: Austro-Hungarian
2. Explode: Ottoman Empire
3. Implode: the USSR
4. Implode: the Spanish Empire
5. Explode: Alexandrian Empire
6. Implode: Roman Empire (multi-century implosion)
