The cause of the collapse of the greatest civilization known to man.

Based on the book Just & Unjust Wars by Michael Waltzer & The Art of War by Sun Tzu and Military Methods by Sun Pin

“Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and power, but dies in chaos”

-William Durant, American Historian & Philosopher

The mention of the Sputnik Union means a great civilization that was attacked multiple times, with the worry of a difficult death. We crossed all the standards and levels but fell to our opposing team, the barbarian Islands, and our betrayer, Triton. Triton made a secret deal with our neutral state,  New Canada, a north civilization rich in oils and metals but with a low agricultural production rate. We were in the middle of all the great civilizations and had the most stable food, metal, and oil production. We were the first civilization to develop ‘Tecnologie nuclear,’ or Nuclear Technologies. I will kindly infer that the other civilizations thought of us to launch an attack on them, with over 20+ armies at our disposal. “Thus, it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or peril,” quoted by Sun Tzu, meant” One who does not wage war well may mess up the nation. Still, one who wages war well, may succeed the country to high levels”. If the bomb had not been deployed, we would have all had the power of nuclear deterrence. We made a crucial mistake in deploying two atomic bombs on the neighboring nation, declaring a state of war upon us, the Sputnik Union. Historian George Kennan provides an insight into an alternate idea to this state of war:

“ Let us suppose there was to be a nuclear attack of some sort on a neighboring country, and millions of people were killed and injured. Let us further suppose that we could retaliate against the country’s urban centers that had attacked us. Would you want to do that? I wouldn’t…I have no sympathy with the man who demands an eye for an eye in a nuclear attack.”

This was our exact case in this situation, as the neighboring countries had no mercy on us after releasing two atomic bombs. Our allies secretly betrayed us without our knowing. We were slowly deprived of our armies, falling from twenty to ten and a miserable two armies. When we were breathing our last breath, one of our lead generals, Ajay N., secretly bombed our state, making us fall in glory with a smothering, smoldering wasteland.
