As a result of the Peloponnesian war the Greek city-states suffered from political collapse.Are there any conclusions you can draw about how political collapse relates to the fall or survival of civilization?
Well, if I understand the question correctly, it could be concluded that political collapse can make a civilization both fall and suceed.
Examples of this are the fall of the Roman Empire mostly due to widespread corruption among the political elite.
The example I would give for a civilization suceeding would be France after the French Revolution. The ousting of the then current political system could be seen as political collapse.
Nazi Germany could be another example.
Hopefully this helped, I wasn't 100% sure on what the question was asking.
Andre is correct, and his question about the question is interesting.
You are asked, "Are there any conclusions you can draw ... " -- and of course the answer is yes! So in answering this question, you are probably expected to provide examples on both sides -- "fall or survival." You can either present an equal number of examples on each side (which would produce a wishy-washy conclusion on your part), or you can present more of one than the other, in which case, you'd be drawing a clear conclusion, one way or the other.
Here are some examples you can draw from:

Let us know what you decide.

To draw conclusions about how political collapse relates to the fall or survival of civilization, you can analyze historical examples and patterns. One example would be the fall of the Roman Empire, which experienced political collapse due to corruption among the political elite. This collapse ultimately led to the decline and eventual fragmentation of the empire.
On the other hand, there are examples of civilizations that have survived or even thrived after political collapse. The French Revolution, for instance, resulted in the ousting of the existing political system and the establishment of a new government. Although the revolution caused political instability and violence initially, France eventually stabilized and became a leading power in Europe.
Another example is Nazi Germany, where the collapse of democratic institutions and the rise of Adolf Hitler led to a totalitarian regime. Despite the devastating consequences of World War II, Germany was able to rebuild and become a successful democracy.
To better understand the relationship between political collapse and the fall or survival of civilization, you can conduct research and explore historical case studies. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the various factors and dynamics involved.
