Following period of relative stability, civilisations of Europe and Middle-East were plagued by massive uprisings. Peasant, religious and cultural struggles spread through the kingdoms like wild fire.
Aztec Empire - series of revolts resulted in 4 different rulers controlling the Aztec Empire in a period of five years. It left the powerful empire unable to join Great Holy War of High Priests against Muslim Egipt.
Austrasia - one of the most spectacular falls of the last decade - Austrasia's eastern province rebelled, proclaming itself as independent Kingdom of Bavaria... only to be forced to split again, giving birth to Kingdom of Bohemia and Duchy of Moravia
Holy Roman Empire - disappointed by the weak state of the Empire, ruling elite decided to rejoin Roman Empire after death of their former ruler.
Abbasid Caliphate - a long-standing Decadence Revolt in Abisynia, which Caliphate could not suppress is slowly gaining enough momentum, forcing Abbasids to consider it a major threat to their integrity-- threat they might be unable to stop.
Mauskarid Caliphate - young state came under fire from all directions and is now fighting for it's survival while Roman forces try to reclaim their territories in Anatolia.
Generally unstable Nomadic Khaganates were victims of same separatist movements, with Khaganate of Bulan dealing with an independence revolt encompassing over 50% of their territory.
It is worth taking not of Kingdom of Pomerania which existed as an independent state since 1130, slowly accumulating territories and power in the region. With decomposition of Austrasia in Central Europe, Pomerania advanced to be one of the major powers in the region.
Plague, that spread across Scandinavia, failed to cross the Baltic Sea.
Persian Empire:
Cradle of Civilisation spreading from Indus to Red Sea enjoys the rare - in current global climate - time of peace and prosperity under Shahanshah Khurshid. Expanding it's influence across the region Persian Dynasty is most likely to gain as her enemies struggle...
