When states collapse, their constituent parts sometimes inherit armed forces that are competent enough to maintain minimal levels of governance. This is more often the case when a state breaks up as a result of armed conflict, in which case stability depends on whether the best military leaders are allowed to remain in place.
当国家崩溃时，其组成部分有时会继承足以维持最低程度治理的武装力量。在国家因为武装冲突而分裂时，这种可能性更大，在这种情况中，稳定取决于最优秀的军事领导人能否就位。
