Are there any good studies/ observations regarding the affects of a fallen/ defeated nation or emoire primarily focused on how it affects the people within that nation, especially in modern times? For example, looking at how the confederate's defeat is handled in the southern states or how the new generation of Russians look at the Soviet Union.

There's a great book called The Collapse of Complex Societies, by Joseph Tainter. It focuses mostly on the technical/economic aspects of civilisational collapse, but illustrates its point with plenty of historical examples that might tangentially answer your questions.

To sum it up, after the initial period of chaos and painful readjustment, things for the average Joe get surprisingly better than they were before the collapse.

This anon is right. Once society collapses things are usually bad for a few decades, but once things calm down some the quality of life improves greatly.

I would imagine the most recent thing you could study is post WWII Japan, since that sent their entire culture reeling basically turning them into parody of what used to be. Sorry I can't link anything specific.
