Ask the Germans and the British before the WWII.

They were the largest military power at the time, Germany in land, British Empire(India,Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ethiopia...) on the sea.

They started getting in debt and a little country called United States became the biggest creditor of the world.

They they killed each other in a stupid war trying to reign supreme, and someone else did.

Now this someone else had started thinking their power will be forever. We will see...
