    What historical events ended the way you say? None seem to come to mind. Unless the corruption is systemic, like the Romans and Spartans, removing the problem typically solves the problem for a few generations.

      Which way are you asking about?

      Anyway, the corruption is always systemic. I’m not sure punctual corruption is even a thing that exists.
