The documentary "Four Horsemen States" that every empire come crashing down every 250 something years. Another important thing mentioned in the film is that an empire is near its end when its in the age of decadence. The age of decadence is when society is obsess with glamour and sex. In the words mentioned in the film:
"There are common features to every age of decadence: an undisciplined and over extended military, the conspicuous display of wealth, a massive disparity between rich and poor, a desire to live off a bloated state, and an obsession with sex."
The strongest implication of an empire ending is the disbandment of currency which in fact the United States did when the got of the gold standard.
In my opinion, if the "empire" of the United States ends the whole world will be affected. The reason I strongly believe this is because third world country's have a very strong reliance on the United States. Although there is a lot of cons I believe there is one good pro that will come from this.Third world country's will start to rely on themselves.
