Is No Succession the Best Succession?

So we went over Japanese Imperial succession.

And we've assumed that figuring out succession is a high priority for any culture fit for stellar empires.

However, what if Nature selected competently already?

That's what we'll explore with the next few posts by looking at what happens when there's no clear succession.

We'll look at:

• The Wars of the Roses (1455-1487)

• The Roman Crisis of the Third Century (235-284 AD)

• Warring States Period of China (475-221 BC)
