could you guys point out which era the West outpowered the remaining world, and how could it be possible?
-Middle East
Ancient Persia was as powerful as Rome...(possibly stronger on their best days). Islam Empire had been way superior to Europe in every way during 8th~14th century.
-China & India
Since fall or Rome Empire, China and India had been the most powerful, rich, advanced (technolony), and populated countries in the world. Only Islam empire at their highest could outpower these two Asian giants
-----------------------------------------------------------
The west was hardly a civilization compared to above those three...Until the Renaissance (14th~16th century), the west was even inferior to easter Europe, which was also born by succeeding Rome...
I bet nobody in the world (not even Europeons themselves) could expect Europe to be the superpower qonquering the whole world....how could this be possible?
