what are ten reasons for the fall of napoleon's empire?

One main one was his failed attack on Russia, for it was during the winter, and because the russians had a war strategy that consisted of burning everything down and destroying everything and then migrating to the next town when they were about to be attacked, so by the time Napoleon's army arrived there, there was nothing there, no food, no supplies, and because of this Napoleon had to ride back to france with a lack of supplies, causing a vast amount of his army to starve on the ride back to france.

The major military reason for the fall of the Roman empire was the invading Germanic tribes which began to encroach by about the mid 4th century AD (mostly the Goths who wanted to be more like the Romans-which is a social reason).   Pax Romana began to disintigrate as the army had fewer people joining and this small force had to face the Goth threat.  Once the empire became so large and supply lines so stretched, it began to cave in on itself and had little power to stop Alaric & the other Goth invaders.Political demise began, after Constantine split the empire into two (East becoming Byzantium with capital at Constantinople) virtually separate kingdoms and increased with a series of ineffective leaders during the 5th century.   Economically, the major issue was a lack of a tax base and increasing demand for the government to pay for more.  Gibbon blamed the fall of Rome on the social aspect, Christianity, whereas I feel it had much to do with a snobbery (we're better than you) among its people that helped to make it vulnerable.  I hope this answers your question.  That's it in a nutshell.

Napoleon lost the battle for a number of reasons:\nan accident of weather. As before all of Wellington's battles, it rained heavily all the previous night so Napoleon could use neither his guns nor his cavalry to their best advantage. His guns sank up to their axles in the mud and his cavalry could not charge uphill in the soggy conditions. The start of the battle was delayed for about two hours, so that the ground could dry out a little.\nWellington's tactics were superb. He refused to move from the high ground into the boggy valley, so the French had to take the battle to him, uphill and through mud.\nWellington used the "thin red line" and hid his troops: this surprised Napoleon, who had never seen this method of fighting. Wellington had perfected them in Spain while Napoleon was occupied in fighting elsewhere.\nWellington's smaller force held the French to a stalemate from about 11 a.m. (when the battle started), until about 4 p.m. Wellington was about to give the order for a general retreat following Napoleon's order for a general advance, when Blucher arrived and tipped the balance in favour of the Allies.\nNapoleon said he lost Waterloo because of the "obstinate bravery of the English troops" - many of whom were Irish. [1]\nThere is an account that Napoleon was not functioning at his best because of a medical problem. It seems that he suffered terribly from haemorrhoids (piles); his physician used leeches to alleviate the pain but during the night of 16 June, the leeches were lost. The physician gave Napoleon laudanum to alleviate the pain but by accident administered an overdose; consequently, at Waterloo, Napoleon's abilities were imp

Think of the coldest, wettest and most miserable you have ever been.  Multiply by a hundred.  You should get a rough idea.  \n\nNapoleon took his army into Russia too close to winter and in the end, they were faced by a worse enemy than the Russian forces: Russian weather.\n\nThe troops were alway hungry, facing a tough, determined enemy and a climate that French soldiers were not even close to being ready to face.  \n\nIt was so bad that a large portion of the surviving Frenchmen went home without even boots on their feet and only socks and strips of old blankets to prevent them from losing their feet as they marched on.

The Egyptian Empire didn't dissolve due to desert encroachment.  They were overrun by other various empires, including the Persian, Macedonian (which became the Ptolemaic in Egypt), and the Roman Empires.  (There were other peoples who had ruled Egypt before these, i.e. the Hyksos, but these three were responsible for the eventual destruction of ancient Egyptian culture, which was to be forgotten until the Napoleonic Era.)\n\nTo adress your question though, it depends on the disaster, and the location of its occurence.  A record breaking tsunami along the East Coast of China, as terrible as it would be, would probably not result in the cessation of the U.S., although the effects of it would definiely be felt worldwide.  A supervolcano erupting in Yellowstone National Park, on the other hand, could indded cause an end to the nation.
