Chapter XXV: Chart of the empires.
I have demonstrated that the Persian Empire and the Roman Empire obey exactly the mathematical law which rules the evolution of empires. We have taken them as examples, the first one because it belongs to the Asian Empires, the second one because it was located in Europe and besides because of the importance which was attributed to it. We do not study the Macedonian Empire or the Carthaginian and, after Rome, we cannot do it either for the remaining empires of the first imperial wave which, as an assembly line arrives until the Moscow Empire. We shall not talk either of the second line, which starts in Europe with the Turkish Empire. Se shall consider, because it directly concerns us, the setting up of the Spanish Empire, we shall speak about it indirectly when we study the French Empire and the Austrian Empire, and we shall talk in more detail of present day empires, because through them we shall infer the future we may expect. However, I’ll give a table with the empires of the two imperial waves in which I show that the phases which we said all the empires follow, these phases actually come true for all the known empires. The reader will be able to do the full study of the empires in the corresponding volumes of our collected works, which, if nobody puts obstacles in the way, will be published shortly. The framework of the empires is as follows:
