Abstract
The End of History looks like its beginning, as together they form a complex intellectual system for human beings throughout time and place. What has been deduced from the merits of history is that what accompanies the displacement of powers or (civilization or empire) is the occurrence of a clear and clear vacuum in the components of control and domination, reaching the end of igniting global wars, and here power becomes a factor in the disintegration of the socio-economic system governing this group, which opens the door wide towards another stage, and marks the beginning of a new historical cycle, different from the previous and subsequent ones. This has rarely happened peacefully. The United States is facing a period of "imperial stress" that has resulted from the burden generated by the hegemonic behavior of the major powers. The United States has recognized the danger posed by its rival rising powers and its insistence on being revisionist forces that de-personalize the international system and push it towards multipolarity. Thus the pressure increases, and with it the conditional strategic burdens of defending the position in world leadership.
