    The second their empire stopped sending them tribute, their country began a slow collapse

    If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, it stands to reason that if you take away the imperialism it’s no bueno

      That’s not what “imperialism” in the context of “imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism” means. Britain is still doing imperialism/in the imperialist stage of capitalism, it just doesn’t have an “empire” in the same sense as the Romans had an empire.
