Civilization collapse

Civilization collapse refers to the significant decline or failure of a society's complex structures, including economy, governance, and culture. This can occur due to various factors, such as environmental changes, resource depletion, economic hardship, social unrest, or external invasions. When these pressures accumulate, a society may struggle to maintain order and provide for its citizens, leading to widespread hardship and the eventual breakdown of social cohesion. Historical examples include the fall of the Roman Empire and the decline of the Mayan civilization, illustrating how interconnected systems can falter under strain.
