Who will be the next world power?

You really should do research before you make wild assertions. Do you know anything about Spanish history or history at all? The gradual death of the of the spanish had little or nothing to do with work ethic or stable government.Here are some things that were the cause.
Reformation and extremist Catholicism.
European wars.
Ottoman empire.
european royalty and succesions
inflation caused by bullion from Americas.
independence movements in the Americas.Maybe you don't understand what life was like for the majority of people in Europe in that time period. If you wanted to eat, you worked hard. If you wanted to live, you did what the rulers and the church told you to. The regular people had no choices.Spanish governments were no more or less stable than any other European power. England also had changes in dynasties. They even executed their king. Surprisingly they became the next world power.My point is you should know what you are talking about before make wild ass comments.P.S.
If you would like to know source for the above facts, let me know. I can check my books for you. Also, I bet if you do a google search on the subject you might find some reputable sites that will discuss the subject.

Ok you presented the argument. I disagreed. It is your argument. If you can't back it up then just say you can't. I am not making the outrageous claim. You are.Oh and it isn't grammar. Grammar is the construction of sentences. You used a word that was the wrong word. You do not want people to point out things like this? Of course I am going to point it out. It helps to have an idea of the concept before you post on it.

If it happens again I would bet that Texas would not be the lone star in the amount of states trying to suceed, and the battle if the Union wished to take the fight against other states again would be fought on multiple fronts, in multiple states against multiple sucession causes.

A little advice. If you want to be taken serious here, and in life, improve your spelling and grammar.
