The trouble I have is with "a period of" that implies it is transitory...Stability at some point will return and this is just another bump in the road...the question is when and what will it look like. What was known before is going going gone. I do not think you will recognize the the world when it returns to a stable situation.
The instability in Rome lasted from roughly 80 BC with Sulla until Marc Anthony and Cleo took their dirt nap and ascension of Augustus as "First Citizen" of Rome in 30 BC..After the fall of Rome in the west in 479 AD it took until the Renaissance in apx 1500 AD to resurrect Western Civ.
