The Phenomenon of “The Fourth Quarter”

A historical phenomenon common to many countries: they experience a social crisis in the fourth quarter of their existence (in the years 75-100). Countries, which arose against a background of adversity and out of a common goal, begin to prosper. Precisely in times of abundance, and in the absence of an external enemy, the various groups in society find it difficult to compromise among themselves. Jewish sovereignty was destroyed twice in the fourth quarter, and another 30 countries in history reached civil war during this period.
