    Changing climate did have a major impact on all of those Empires though.

      Usually it’s a combination with dysfunctional politics, war, resource depletion and climate change.

        Not entirely sure climate change couldn’t just be argued to be the cause of all the others there.

          You can have succession wars, incompetent inbred rulers and overexploitation without any climate change. But climate change would make it more likely to happen and make the outcome worse.
