There are good isnigths come up, but mostly explaining the historical events that lead into western domination.
And also its quite hilarious to quote that West (europe and its sibling, european USA) isent the dominator of the world, can you seriously claim that some other factor than western ideology directly rose from meditereinian civilications isent controlling the world? Well maybe there are sings of tides beeing changhing and China is going to rise, but it isent the case here, we are talking of history.
So yeas, China has been strongest power of its time, But it never rosed into global dominator as the British Empire did and followed by US and USSR, both orginally European powers whit outside geopolitical reach. Why werent the opium wars fougth on Mediterinian?
Also Hamburger, crobato, Chinawhite you all seem to be quite certain that Chinese idelogyes and philoshophyes are some how made chinese less willingless to concuere world, but Im not byuing that so easy. What are philoshpyes? Morrale and ethichal auchrorityes more than bit clever versions of religions, whos only task is to explain world from lack of sience and more importantly explaining to people why the current rulers are on power. Why would chinese/asian ideologyes be anyway better than European ones in that case?
Or looking from other wiev, if the Religions are that way, why they have envolped in china into likenes of stagnation and isolation? Philoshophyes, ideologyes and religions arent anywya outcluded from sientific point of view, they cannot simple explain something and end the subject there, they all have theyr roots and orgins directly affected by vertical elements of sosiety in general.
Amd I know how European powers wiped South Americans, But the guestion migth be repraised as Why didnt South American disieases wipe out Europeans? Why european disiases were better than South Americans.
