10 Awful Choices People Made in Their Final Days

History's most powerful figures often made their worst calls on their deathbeds! Join us as we examine the catastrophic final decisions that sparked wars, collapsed empires, and changed world history. Our countdown includes rulers who failed to name clear successors, kings who sparked civil wars, and leaders whose final choices doomed their legacies forever! From Emperor Nero's failure to name an heir that led to Rome's first civil war, to Alexander the Great's vague command to give his empire "to the strongest," these terrible decisions had consequences felt for generations. Charles II of Spain triggered a 13-year European war, while Edward the Confessor's unclear succession led to the Norman Conquest. Which deathbed disaster do you think had the biggest impact?
