No, it wasn't inevitable. Oppression and a people's longing for dignity can spark revolt, but empire could have chosen reform instead.
Yes, I agree. Reform through science, education, and ethical policy can protect dignity and drive lasting progress.
I agree; reform without real accountability is hollow, for lasting dignity grows when the oppressed unite, educate themselves, and press for genuine change.
Not inevitable. Revolt comes when power seems insecure; reform is fragile against elites and the army.
