The Maya was a great empire that prospered for many years. They had everything that a great empire needs: trade, fertile soil, and a strong army. But, for a reason still unknown, the Maya empire collapsed. Some say it was because of taxes; others say it was because of warfare. Many believe that internal rebellion was a part of it.
But, personally, I think that the reason for the decline of the Maya empire was all of these reasons combined. I don't think that any of these reasons could bring down the Maya empire alone, but together no empire could last against that. I think that as well as the main three reasons, a climate change could also have affected it. Well, in conclusion, it would have taken a lot to bring down an empire as strong as the Maya, but with many different reasons put together, the Maya empire collapsed just like any other would have in its place.
