It's no different than the aristocrats pushing back against the divine rights of kings, or industrialists revolting against aristocrats. The warlord, whether military or economic, is going to allow success to go to his or head. They're going to accede to power and they're going to cling to that power until someone wrests it from them.

Freedom isn't free. The battle never ends.
