What were the Causes of Downfall of Mighty Empires of European Empires and world? Whether Divine or else? Did God Almighty collapse not only the Mighty empires of the world but also European Empires?
In the annals of human history peoples of the entire world has witness innumerable destructive wars in which millions of millions people perished. The mothers have lost their sons, wives have lost their husbands, and children have become orphan. The suffering people have to live future life in pains and sufferings. The people have annihilated his fellow being irrespective of race, colour, creed, religion or ideology. The prime motive was to conquer others and subjugate the humanity to flourish their empires and spread their Ideologies or Philosophies. Consequently, Humans persecuted the humanity. Humans perpetuated their persecution until they could spread their ideology and perpetuate their tyranny. After suffering of years, the subjugated and persecuted people waged valiant struggle and wars to attain salvation and freedom from the clutches of conquerors. This unending process of subjugating other people and territory since centuries continues even today’s world.
For centuries, the Christian empires perpetrated brutalities over Christians, Jews, and Arabs in the world.
Arabs brutally killed Arabs beyond description. Within a century, perpetrators were killed by other conquering nations.
During the occupation of America the Europeans perished not only the original native people of America but also every opponent even Christian.
What did oppressed and persecuted do besides fighting?
Did they not ask God Almighty for his divine help? Did God not help them? History proved the God Surely helped these oppressed people. Within a century, sons of Europeans fought Europeans grandfathers and expelled them from America.
In the course of conquering lands, Muslims killed Hindus in India.
In the course of conquering lands, Muslims killed Muslims in India.
Europeans Killed Muslims and Hindus in India, Middle East, Africa, America. During this killing and persecution what the persecuted people did.
During world war 1 and 11 European Christians killed European and innocent people of the World mercilessly only to satisfy their greed.
The Japanese killed innocent Chinese, Korean people and American people in Hawaii.
These people were too powerless to fight the oppressors and perpetrators.
Did they not invoke the wrath of God over perpetrators?
The US dropped an atomic bomb over Japan and killed millions of people.
After the end of World War 11, the US alongside Europeans killed Palestinians, Koreans, Vietnamese and other people in the world to contain communism. The USSR persecuted Muslims and other races in Russia. The question agitated the mind, did the prayers of oppressed people of the world not stirred the God.
Yet, amid such despair, the prayers of the oppressed ascended to the heavens. Were these cries for justice ignored? No. History suggests that divine wrath found its way to the oppressors in unforeseen forms. Surely, the God Almighty listened the crying and inflicted the catastrophes and calamities in the countries of oppressors in one or the other forms.
The incident of 9/11, earthquakes, various fatal virus attacks, social and moral degradation and recent heavy fire in the powerful country US is sufficient proof that the God Almighty avenged the cruelties perpetrated over peoples of the world. As warned in all Holy Books. Are these not manifestations of God’s wrath against those who perpetrated cruelties upon the powerless?
History is a testament to the cycles of human cruelty and divine justice. It reminds us that no empire, however mighty, is immune to accountability. The unseen revenge and wrath of God Almighty serve as both a warning and a call for humility, urging humanity to reflect on its deeds and seek a path of compassion and righteousness.
Besides divine cause, there are other causes and factors that precipitated the downfall of European Empires such as Philosophies of Western Philosophers who advocated the cause of freedom and liberty, Crucial role of communism in the world and acceptance by the oppressed people, the emergence of widespread nationalist movements in the occupied countries against imperialist countries, unparalleled hatred against Europeans and above all important role of US in the downfall of European Empires.
Let us discuss the divine or supernatural factors that contributed to the downfall of European empires. In my opinion, the natural cause for downfall of world empires are the Divine intervention for the redress of prayers of oppressed people by the Almighty God. Natural Causes mean factors that are not directly related to human actions, policies, or decisions, but rather factors that are inherent to the natural world, imbibed some idea into the minds of people in power or inflicted by Nature itself. The concept of divine judgment or retribution for colonialism, exploitation, and oppression suggests that Almighty God intervenes in human affairs to redress the injustices suffered by oppressed people. These divine or natural causes can be seen as a form of cosmic justice, where the universe seeks balance and harmony by correcting the injustices perpetrated by empires. Throughout human history, empires that engaged in systemic persecution, oppression, and violence against humanity have inevitably faced decline and downfall. Europeans empires are known for their brutal treatment of conquered peoples irrespective of colour, creed and religion. European empires perpetrated widespread persecution and violence against indigenous populations and other communities in North America, South America, Africa, and Asia. European colonizers, particularly the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch, perpetrated genocide, forced relocation, and cultural suppression against Native American populations. This perspective assumes that there are forces beyond human control that influenced the rise and fall of empires. It is proven by religious and theological perspective that Almighty Gods Justice has eventually hold not only individuals but also nations accountable for their past misdeeds and actions against innocent humanity. Almighty God has sole suzerainty and sovereignty over human affairs to manipulate their future. Almighty God had always intervened in human history to achieve justice and righteousness in the universe. Being human and creature of Almighty God, we believe that Almighty God has special concern, care and affection for the entire humanity especially oppressed, marginalized, and vulnerable. Almighty God's supreme desire has been to liberate humanity from injustice, oppression and extreme pain that is why God has sent prophet from time to time in different parts of world.
Almighty God inflicted repeated droughts led to economic decline, social unrest, and waning of colonial political and economic control. The spread of diseases like the Spanish Flu, malaria, and Corona virus attack which weakened colonial powers' human resources, disrupted their economies and shaken their foundation. Earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters damaged colonial infrastructure, disrupted trade, and eroded colonial powers' control throughout human history. Natural disasters left indelible and devastating impact on all empires on different time. The devastating population in European colonial countries led to a decline in productivity, innovation, and military recruitment. The challenges of governing remote and inhospitable territories, such as the jungles of South America, Africa, Asia especially South Asia and Southeast Asia, strained colonial resources and weakened their control. These Divine or natural causes, while not the sole factors, contributed significantly to the decline and eventual downfall of not only European empires but also all empires of world.
In the Bible, the fall of Babylon is attributed to God's judgment on the empire's corruption, idolatry, and oppression of the Israelites. Some historians and theologians argue that the decline of the Roman Empire was a result of God's judgment on its corruption, decadence, and persecution of Christians. The Christian has killed Christian than any other religious group killed them since centuries. The European Christians killed European Christians in world wars. The Muslims has killed their fellow religious brethren than any other religious group. Similarly, the collapse of colonial empires in the 20th century can be seen as a divine judgment on their exploitation, oppression, and racism. the Assyrian Empire was eventually conquered by the Babylonians and Medes. The Roman Empire's persecution of Christians, Jews, and other minority groups contributed to its internal decay and eventual collapse. Although the Mongols were initially successful in their conquests, their brutal treatment of conquered peoples and internal power struggles led to their decline. The Spanish Empire's brutal treatment of indigenous peoples in the Americas, as well as its persecution of Jews and Muslims, contributed to its decline. The Nazi regime's systematic persecution and genocide of Jews, Romani people, and other minority groups ultimately led to its downfall. The Jews were brutally persecuted by the Christian all over the world. God Almighty listened to their prayers and bestowed them homeland Israel where they are persecuting Muslims with the help of Christians. The apartheid regime's institutionalized racism and persecution of black South Africans led to international condemnation, economic sanctions, and eventual collapse. The persecuted humanity were suffering helplessly as no one was protecting or daring to protect them due to the fear of cruel rulers. These oppressed people naturally looked to Almighty God and seek his mercy for liberation. No doubt, they suffered centuries but the Almighty God has eventually come to their rescue at an appropriate time. The history of Arabs reveals that fact they butchered and massacred their own people only to impose their perceived ideology. The persecutors either Muslims or Christians or follower og any other religion perished in no time. They are still suffering for their past misdeeds and cruelties in one or the other form.
Human wisdom has been unable to understand or not want to perceive direct divine intervention but it can be observed by pattern of natural consequences in various forms known as calamities and catastrophes. The powerful people conceive it as an accident due to willing ignorance. Empires has always committed oppression and violence to subjugate and achieve their set political and economic goals. Consequently, systemic persecution erodes an empire's legitimacy, both domestically and internationally, making it harder to maintain control and stability due to external pressure caused by Divine course. Spiritual traditions proved that the severity and pain of violence, oppression, and persecution had created karmic consequences, influencing the empire's fate and leading to its downfall.
European colonizers since 12th century, particularly the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch, perpetrated genocide, forced relocation, and cultural suppression against Native American populations. The United States government forced Native American children to attend boarding schools, where they were punished for speaking their native languages and practicing their cultural traditions. In South America Spanish, conquistadors destroyed the Inca and Aztec empires, killing millions of people and imposing European culture and Christianity. European colonizers enslaved and forced indigenous people and Africans to work in mines, plantations, and other industries.
European powers, particularly Portugal, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, forcibly enslaved and transported millions of Africans to the Americas. They laid the infamous transatlantic slave trade. European colonizers exploited Africa's natural resources, imposed forced labor, and disrupted traditional societies. In Asia, the Europeans and British East India Company and later the British government exploited India's resources, imposed forced labor, and suppressed Indian and Asian culture. The Dutch East India Company and later the Dutch government exploited Indonesia's resources, imposed forced labor, and suppressed Indonesian culture. European empires used violence and coercion to impose their rule, suppress local cultures, and exploit resources. European empires exploited the resources of colonized regions, often using forced labor and imposing unfair economic systems. European empires suppressed local cultures, imposing European languages, religions, and customs. The persecution and violence perpetrated by European empires have had lasting negative impacts on the affected communities.
The downfall of the mighty European empires was caused by multifarious interconnected political, economic, social, and military factors. These factors played out over centuries, culminating in the downfall and decline of European imperial dominance in the world. Perpetual wars and rivalries not only in Europe but also in their colonies, such as the Napoleonic Wars, World Wars, and colonial conflicts crumbled their economic structure. The rise of industrialized nations like the United States, Japan, and later the Soviet Union reduced Europe’s economic dominance due economic competition.
The main cause in my opinion was the wrath of nature who took revenge from European people for their unparallel persecution of humanity all around the world. All these causes were responsible for the outbreak of World War 1 and 11. Natural Cause or in other words Wrath of Allah on European Nations as their persecution exceeded the limits. Allah Almighty came to the rescue of humanity, pushed and immersed the European in the deadliest wars once for all. After the end of WW11, no such type of war broke out again and European learnt the Natural lesson. The all religions of world are unanimous that the nature has given entire human being two destructive weapons one is prayer and other is curse for the oppressor in their hands. The Allah Almighty himself has directed entire humanity to use these destructive weapons in the time of Peace and difficulty. When any human is need of any material thing or spiritual peace, he looks to God almighty for fulfillment. Allah Almighty has directed all humanity to demand everything only from him, as he is the Omnipotent and Omnipresent. When any individual or nation persecutes an individual or nation, the oppressed looks and prays to Allah and beseeches his blessing and wrath on the opponent. The oppressed groining under suffering seeks wrath of Allah upon the oppressor individual or nation. The process of nature grinds its own pace but grinds surely. Allah Almighty accumulates these prayers and inflicts his wrath and revenge on proper time. The oppressor individual or nation does not realize the wrath of Allah continues his oppression unabated. The Allah Almighty imposes his wrath in one or the other way that an individual or nation cannot perceive it. Allah Almighty inculcate in the minds to initiate deed and action that they think appropriate, but results in the utter destruction and repercussions for all times to come. The Allah Almighty instill in the minds of European nations to act so that natural process may take its course and new thinking or system may supersede the prevalent system of order in the world.
The nature decided to reduce the power of Europe and give freedom to nations praying for his wrath and valiantly fighting for freedom. Allah Almighty brought unparallel loss of lives and destruction in World Wars only to inflict his invisible wrath beseeched by the oppressed humanity and nations of entire world. Allah Almighty destroyed these mighty empires into insignificant pieces and their people face enormous difficulties in the shape of destruction, calamities. The European Nations since twelfth century perpetrated innumerable cruelties upon the innocent people of Asia, Africa, America irrespective of Race, creed colour and religion. The European nations tried to spread and impose their ideological and political sphere through war and execution. Following the end of WW1 Europe lost its potential and WW11 proved last nail in their coffin. The Divine Nature came to the rescue The process of decolonization or liberation of subjugated nations set in, Essentially the imperial powers became impotent to hold on to empires where the nationalist movements had gained strength and support.
The world has witnessed that Mighty European powers remain victor with empty handed and utter destruction. Nevertheless, in real sense they lost not only the war but also sank into oblivion. The mill of nature grinds its own pace and eventually listens and fulfilled the curse beseeched by the subjugated humanity everywhere in the world.
Only the Divine Will of Allah Almighty made this possible. The Divine nature decided to trim down the power of European Colonial and bestow freedom and salvation to nations seeking & praying for his wrath. Allah Almighty brought unparallel loss of lives and destruction in both World Wars only to inflict wrath beseeched by the oppressed nations of entire world. Allah Almighty destroyed these mighty empires into insignificant pieces; their people confronted enormous difficulties and become pauper. Their women were forced to sell their prestige to the thirsty American soldiers. No one could have thought about this abysmal plight of European people. It was the reward of Divine Nature for innumerable cruelties, which the European Nations perpetrated upon the innocent people of Asia, Africa, America irrespective of Race, creed colour and religion. Before the World war 11 there were only 51 recognized states and currently world has more than 200 sovereign, independent states. The question agitate the mind that from where these states emerged. They were emerged from womb of European colonial powers, which they have forcibly retained against the will of subjugated people. The desire and struggle for political and economic freedom compels the people to find new avenues that alter the social structures in countries of world. The people of world with the help of enemies of colonial powers started valiant struggle and unparallel sacrifice bore the fruits of freedom from cruel European Nations. The historical actions of European powers during the eras of imperialism have left a lasting legacy of destruction, exploitation, and misery for many regions worldwide. While many European countries have transitioned to modern democracies and advocate for human rights today, the consequences of their past actions still resonate in various forms.
I think it is a natural process as holy Quran says that new nation emerges from the ashes of perished. The enemies of one another helped the subjugated nations and people to defeat their enemies. No doubt, the outcome of natural process and these brutal wars of the past reshaped the contours of future world and ultimately freed the humanity from bondage and tyranny. The perished people sacrificed their lives for the future generations. All empires of the world followed same principle to subjugate other nations. The European followed inclement policy of Imperialism and established their Empires stretching from Asia, Africa to Latin America. They used Imperialism as an instrument for ruling, exploiting and subjugating the helpless people of their colonies. These greedy European powers exploited the economies, natural resources and human resources of their respective colonies. They converted colonies into slave markets and plundered with impunity. A brutal use of economic imperialism culminated in prosperity of European Nations.
Naturally, prosperity breeds discord and animosity among European nations. Under the impact of revolution, the seeds of ideology of nationalism came to be basis of the behaviour and activities of not only Europeans but also people of entire world. Nationalism became a slogan for liberation. It became a formidable cause and factor for the downfall of not only Mighty Empires of Europe but also all empires of world in different times. The European empires like all empires acted to protect their interest, negated the tenets of Divine Command and principles of morality. Imperial Gods exercised autocratic authority with impunity to rule over Asian, African and American territories. Militarism and expansionism became the major pillars of their National and foreign policy. There was no any powerful institution or authority that could have deterred these mighty empires from perpetrating cruelties wrought destruction not only to European usurper but also to the entire humanity around the world.
In Conclusion.
God may have intervened to hold empires accountable for their injustices, oppression, misdeeds and violence against humanity. God might have acted to protect the innocent, vulnerable, and marginalized populations who suffered under imperial rule. Empires often engaged in idolatry, worshipping their own power and wealth. God may have punished them for their arrogance and false worship. The downfall of empires might have been part of a larger divine plan to fulfill prophecies and bring about a new era of human history. God may have intervened to restore balance and harmony in the world, correcting the injustices and inequalities perpetuated by empires. The downfall of empires could be seen as a step towards preparing humanity for the Kingdom of God, where justice, peace, and righteousness reign. God might have acted to maintain cosmic order, ensuring that the universe remains balanced and harmonious. The downfall of empires could be part of a larger process of human evolution, where humanity learns from its mistakes and grows towards greater awareness and understanding. Some philosophical perspectives suggest that the universe has a self-correction mechanism, where injustices and imbalances are naturally corrected over time. The downfall of empires is likely the result of a complex interplay between multiple factors. Wish you Good Luck Prof Qayum Mangi, Principal College of Superior Services Sukkur Sindh.
Role of United States for the Downfall of European Empires.
Analysis of US role in the Downfall of European Empires. US policies and actions may not have been directly aimed at destabilizing and undermining European Empires, but their negative effects were profound. By dominating economically, asserting control in strategic regions, promoting ideologies that challenged colonial and monarchical systems, and allowing European rivalries to intensify, the U.S. significantly weakened Europe’s ability to maintain its global dominance. The primary causes of Europeans downfall also included internal factors like wars, imperial overstretch, and shifting alliances, US policies amplified these challenges, accelerating Europeans loss of global primacy. Over the time, various cultures amalgamated and developed into the diverse indigenous populations that inhabited North and South America before European advent. Some of the notable indigenous populations in North America include the Inuit, Native American tribes, and the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. In Sou...
