A long reach weakensthe arm of authority, especially where serious geographical barriersintervene; hence border uprisings are usually successful, at least for atime. When accomplished, they involve that shrinkage of the frontierswhich we have found to be the unmistakable symptom of national decline. This defection shows itself most promptly in conquered border tribes ofdifferent blood, who lack the bond of ethnic affinity, and whoseremoteness emboldens them to throw off the political yoke. The ...decay ofthe Roman Empire, after its last display of energy under Trajan, wasregistered in the revolt of its peripheral districts beyond theEuphrates, Danube, and Rhine, as also in the rapid Teutonization ofeastern Gaul, which here prepared the way for the assertion ofindependence. The border satraps of the ancient Persian Empire wereconstantly revolting, as the history of Asia Minor shows. Aragon, OldCastile, and Portugal were the first kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsulato throw off Saracen dominion.
