    History is a narrative. I'm pretty sure chinese, americans, persians and etc have their own narrative and everything european is secondary or irrelevant until the XX century or so. Europe is probably the only one that doesn't have a self-centered narrative of History, or at least not to the degree others have.

        It has nothing to do with superior record keeping, it's literally just that only 0.0001% of the Chinese historical corpus has even started being translated. The equivalent era of Tokugawa Japan, Qing China, is incredibly well documented in particular thanks to mass literacy and printing. It's just none of that is available in English yet.
        For that matter Japanese translations are about as poor, I doubt even 1% of Japanese books are translated.

          >The Siku Quanshu, variously translated as the Complete Library in Four Sections, Imperial Collection of Four, Emperor's Four Treasuries, Complete Library in Four Branches of Literature or Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, was the largest collection of books in Chinese history with 36,381 volumes (册,Cè), 79,337 volumes (卷,Juǎn), 2.3 million pages and about 997 million words.[1] The complete encyclopedia contains an annotated catalogue of 10,680 titles along with a compendiums of 3,593 titles.[2] The Siku Quanshu ended up even longer than the Ming dynasty's Yongle Encyclopedia of 1403, which had been China's largest encyclopedia until then. A complete copy of the Siku Quanshu are held with each of the following: the National Library of China in Beijing, the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the Gansu Library in Lanzhou, and the Zhejiang Library in Hangzhou.

          >The Gujin Tushu Jicheng ('Complete Collection of Illustrations and Writings from the Earliest to Current Times'), also known as the Imperial Encyclopaedia, is a vast encyclopedic work written in China during the reigns of the Qing dynasty emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng. It was begun in 1700 and completed in 1725.
          >The encyclopaedia contained 10,000 volumes. Sixty-four imprints were made of the first edition, known as the Wu-ying Hall edition. The encyclopaedia consisted of 6 series, 32 divisions, and 6,117 sections.[2] It contained 800,000 pages and over 100 million Chinese characters, making it the largest leishu ever printed. Topics covered included natural phenomena, geography, history, literature and government. The work was printed in 1726 using copper movable type printing. It spanned around 10 thousand rolls (卷). To illustrate the huge size of the Gujin Tushu Jicheng, it is estimated to have contained 3 to 4 times the amount of material in the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition.[3]

          Both of these are available to read in Chinese even on wikisource.

        Largely this. European invention is the basis for every first and second and even third world countries.
        Venezuela, Nigeria, The Congo, India, Bangladesh, etcetera. None function without combustion engines, modern textiles, industrial farming, and many other facets of life that were either invented or utterly revolutionized by European inventions.
        To be considered a power at all, one has to rise to the standard that was set by European nations living standards and economic output, which many nations fail utterly at causing ecological disasters, civil strife, and erasure of culture in the pursuit of a higher White-level GDP and standard of living.

        Westernization really is the ultimate representation of the superiority of the European peoples; because while countries may want racial independence or institutional independence from European influences, they will take and adopt every shred of European creation they can in their own attempt to surpass the bar set by Europeans.

        This is why "China/India/Rwanda SuPERpower by 2030"!!!!! is such a big deal to nonwhites in internet debates, it's because they know they haven't passed the bar that whites didn't even intend to set.

            It wasn't that long ago India AND China lost a nuclear sub or two because of dumb engineering mistakes like accidentally flushing the toilet that wasn't designed to flush underwater like every other submarine since 1915 has been.
            China also depends heavily on Coal to supply most people with heat whereas places like Germany and France(which are arguably second world countries now given their totalitarian regimes and shithole status) can actually operate and maintain nuclear reactors despite being too moronic to remember that Nuclear is the greenest energy.

          Cringe. Early advances came from the countries that industrialized earlier. Later advances came from the countries that industrialized later. The countries that adopted farming first also have most of the advances in farming.
          The US was backward when the UK and France were scientific powerhouses, but later the US completely overshadowed both. So did the Soviet Union when they had the resources and will to do so. Not to mention Japan and more recently China. Poland will become more relevant now, while most of the European Balkans is still irrelevant.
          Most of the countries that don't have contributions don't because they focus on exports to rapidly develop their economy instead of investing in novel technology. Why reinvent the wheel?

    It's a function of population density. Europeans were the first to achieve significant population densities on a widespread scale. Just look at what the most populated countries were in the 1800s. Consider what the size of the average European country is and you'll realize Europe had population densities many times the global average. Individual European countries had higher populations than all of Africa.

      China is around the same size as Europe and has always had a significantly higher population.
      India is much smaller than Europe and has also had a higher population for most of history.

      If anything dense populations were a problem for Europe until recently.
      Rome for example relied on North African provinces for food to feed their dense urban population and in the Middle Ages it took the invention of a heavy plow pulled by 8 oxen in order for population density in central and northern Europe to be large enough to be considered urban

            It's not a one-factor explanation for every single historical occurrence ever. Europe had multiple states with widely variant standards of performance. China was one state with one standard of performance. Poor management was the issue here, not the density. China could also simply expand West instead of bothering with setting out to the Americas. Naval technology associated with colonialism was a primary driver of most European progress just as air power will be the driver of the next global empire. Fingers-crossed for China for obvious reasons.

            You say that as if it was a choice the Chinese made. They thought the world was flat and that china was the center of the world. They had no idea about the existence of the Americas before they were told about them along with the fact that the world was a sphere.

            Nor is population density an inbuilt quality of a region determined by the amount of pixie dust in the soil. Europe struggled to develop technology that allowed their population to increase and urbanize.
            >The Chinese did not think the world is flat. The Chinese considered the world was egg shaped, which it is.
            Yes they did, they believed the cosmos was egg shaped and the at the earth was a flat plane located within the cosmos.

            Who cares? This has nothing to do with the original point of "Europe was successful with a disproportionate impact on global history because they had magic dirt that allowed them to have higher population density than everyone else."

            Both Europe and China struggled to achieve population densities. But once those densities had been achieved, very different strategies were employed. China expanded West, while Europeans settled the Americas, which they set out to discover alternate trade routes. The rest is simply a history of naval technology. All European empires were maritime empires.
            Finding premodern societies does have an impact and how it shapes your worldview. Europeans were looking for routes to China and India. China wasn't looking for a route to Europe or to India.

            I'm asking why you believed that population density was an immutable characteristic of a region and therefore could be considered a "cause" of Europe's success instead of something that Europeans had to work harder to achieve through technology before they could achieve densities high enough to have an urban population.
            I can agree that population density can create a feedback loop of technological development, but Europe did not have any sort of advantage with regards to population density compared to the rest of the world that gave them, and only them, the opportunity to colonize the world.

            I'm not trying to discount European success, but to explain it. If some other country manages persistently high population densities relative to the rest of the world for a couple of centuries, expect them to churn out achievements at a faster pace at well, assuming political stability.

            I'm not saying Europe did not have a higher population density than some regions, I'm saying Europe did not have an advantage that allowed them to have a higher density.
            Population density is the result of technological development as well as a driver of that same development.

            The main reason Europeans discovered the Americas was because they lacked trade goods that could be exchanged for items from Asia and therefore had a massive trade deficit and they wanted to find a more direct route to save on costs.
            West Africa had massive amounts of resources and Morocco had better relations with the Muslims who controlled the trade of the silk road. They were perfectly fine with their trade arrangements and had no incentive to improve.

            Nigeria is an interesting example. Perhaps African backwardness has mainly to do with their historically low population densities. We might see Africa become the next India if the population keeps expanding at this rate.
            You're talking about why they discovered the Americas. But discovering the Americas wouldn't have led Europeans to global dominance without the high population densities it had. The Vikings also discovered the Americas, didn't they? In a way, even the need to trade is driven by population densities.

            You don´t know because you are clueless, by allowing europeans to control the world since those times, from commerce to policies. But maybe americans put the men on the moon they did not changed anything too right? at least it's clear your buthurt if you had to cope this much on things that were only possible with the genious, gravery and capacity of europeans

            Mozart is very specific to Western classical music. I don't see how he changed the world of music. And Magellan changed the world how exactly?

            Nigeria is an interesting example. Perhaps African backwardness has mainly to do with their historically low population densities. We might see Africa become the next India if the population keeps expanding at this rate.
            You're talking about why they discovered the Americas. But discovering the Americas wouldn't have led Europeans to global dominance without the high population densities it had. The Vikings also discovered the Americas, didn't they? In a way, even the need to trade is driven by population densities.

            Again, Western people are mentioned in Western sources more. Hardly surprising. If anything, it's laughable to compare Europe before the 1700s to China.

            >The historian of logic John Corcoran wrote an accessible introduction to Laws of Thought and a point by point comparison of Prior Analytics by Aristotle and Laws of Thought. According to Corcoran, Boole fully accepted and endorsed Aristotle's logic. Boole's goals were “to go under, over, and beyond” Aristotle's logic by:
            >Providing it with mathematical foundations involving equations;
            >Extending the class of problems it could treat from assessing validity to solving equations, and;
            >Expanding the range of applications it could handle — e.g. from propositions having only two terms to those having arbitrarily many.
            >More specifically, Boole agreed with what Aristotle said; Boole's ‘disagreements’, if they might be called that, concern what Aristotle did not say. First, in the realm of foundations, Boole reduced the four propositional forms of Aristotle's logic to formulas in the form of equations—by itself a revolutionary idea. Second, in the realm of logic's problems, Boole's addition of equation solving to logic—another revolutionary idea—involved Boole's doctrine that Aristotle's rules of inference (the “perfect syllogisms”) must be supplemented by rules for equation solving. Third, in the realm of applications, Boole's system could handle multi-term propositions and arguments whereas Aristotle could handle only two-termed subject-predicate propositions and arguments.

            (Boole cited Aristotle throughout his work, of course.)

            It's not my fault Greeks were moronic. They had small states with little incentive to innovate. A lot of the Greeks came from Miletus and Sardis which were ruled by Persia for this reason.
            Also, Russel didn't give a shit about Aristotle. Just paid lip service. It's like how a lot of the gays here talk about Mozart and then go listen to Drake.

            Brahmins still retain more aryan DNA than shudras actually.
            The lowest aryan dna is found in dalits of the same region.
            It seems that aryans arrived. Did all stuff in india the first 800 years. Then started mixing and by the 18th century when indians becane irrelevant they were already very mixed with abbo

            Yes. They mixed so much they stopped resembling any Europeans. It's obvious that these monuments were created by the local people, not by European Aryans who never built anything even similar.

            Yamnaya and WHG-EHG were dark. No reason for them to be related to the native aboriginal slave dna.

            We aleady know that over time brahmins became more "abboified" despite still retaining outliers rich in aryan dna, of we go back to indian golden ages, hundred of years ago, abboification is less and less

          There's also no such thing as "worldwide history". We each have our own versions of history. As more historical research is being done, many technologies having said to be discovered by the West is being found to have been discovered by the Chinese first. It's just that the Chinese had zero need for these technologies so development didn't happen beyond just simple curiosity.

            Navigating the entire world was of zero interest to the Chinese. What would they gain from it?
            Putting men on the moon is very particular to the political circumstances of the space race. Contemporary space agencies have very different interests.

    Just look at the cringe history of Afrocentrists, Sinocentrists, poo centrists etc.

    It's all We Wuzing, outright lies and far fetched speculation. The fact is that the only non-European civilization of note which actually produced knowledge that can be studied, the Sumerians, died out and their cities turned to dust. Europeans discovered everything, conquered everything multiple times (every single time after outsiders tried conquering them making then extra just), explored the world and wrote everything down. The histories of the Sumerians and other clusters of civilizations were lost until Westerners dug it up again as it was for Khmer, the Mayans etc. too. Therefore it exists only within the living culture of the West.

    Others grasp at straws from the faintest inkling of rubbish produced by their ancestors which low both in quantity and volume, because they, too, are simply dug and assimilated into West civilization, which will now last eternally due to the internet and exponentially growing knowledge.
