Civilizations collapse and fail because of many factors:

Over population. Which causes over use of resources...

Destruction of natural environment. For example: cutting down trees (deforestation), over farming (using soil until it no-longer produces enough crop to sustain the people that depend upon the crops). The soil really needs to rest and be renourished (add compost and fertilizer). Crop failures from other sources (volcanic eruption, extreeme temperatures, pests such as grass hoppers, ants, rodents, and locusts...) Polution...

Governments exacting too much tax from their constituents. For whatever reason the government seems to grow and tax until the people can no-longer support the out of control government. Governments making wrong choices for their people

Wars. Including civil wars, and genocides

People becoming too used to their many conveniences and high lifestyle, then not being able to live without those conveniences

And I'm sure there are other reasons
