Why is history so eurocentric?

Because you are euro?

>>1916864
fuck trump and fuck white people

cuz everyone think dey WUZ but yurop really WUZ

>>1916864
because they wrote shit down and then they took everyone over, therefore we know about them and they matter to pretty much every country in the world at some point

>>1916864
Because Europeans travelled to all corners of the world and had an impact in some way. European history is world history.

>>1916864
Because of innovations, literature, and empires.
Where's my prize?

>>1916864
Because if it wasn't some libtard would call it cultural appropriation.

>>1916871

>>1916864

Because literally everything relevant today has been affected by European history,

Because we're the best! Fuck the rest of you, Europe number 1, the eternal Anglo best of the best, ps fuck France still, my hatred for those frog eating bastards grows stronger every day

Hi CTR

Because you live in a western country

Because non-Europeans aren't even human.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect

In that case the Africans ought to be running the world. After all, Mansa Musa was a rich motherfucker.

Because it was invented in Europe. Not their fault that other nations just wouldn't want to preserve the history for future generations.

>>1916864
because africans never learned to write

>>1916864
Because history is written by the victors?

Superior record keeping and suitable languages to create records.

>this mostly takes place in europe
>I am now a eurocentric racist piece of shit

>>1916864
Only history written by Americans and Europeans tends to be Eurocentric. Chinese history, for instance, tends to be very China-centric. Therefore saying all history is Eurocentric is itself Eurocentric.

>>1919481
Me too, i'm an autistic neonazi now

>>1916864
Because Europeans were among the few that bothered to write down their achievements, and managed to preserve the records. That's what history is, written records. What's not written falls on the domain of anthropology, which is definitely not eurocentric.

>>1916864
It isn't all that Eurocentric unless you're learning the history of a place that was heavily influenced by Europe. If you were learning Chinese history, you'd cover over 3,000 years worth of events before Europe even started to come into the picture.

Because i prefer European history. So do most people. If you dont like it, or prefer African/Asian history. Start a thread about it.

>Start a thread about it.
If you do that here, 90% of the replies will be some variation of WE WUZ

It isn't. Judging by the fact you're speaking in English means you're living in somewhere a European settled or England proper. Naturally the culture you're in is going to be more interested in history that involves your heritage as opposed to Chinese history for example, and in China it's the same for them--theirs being more sinocentric.

>>1916864
Because, for better or for worse, the world is eurocentric

Well then find another board or site that will allow for discussions on those subjects.

This site was made for shitposting, people crying about it only makes people shitpost more.

>>1916864
Its not, but it makes the most sense to start with the history of your own nation/people and work out from there, so in western countries we focus on western history

this isn't /int/ though. /his/ actually should be for discussion.
i don't go there, but what is /sci/ and /o/ like when it comes to actual discussion? in the /k/ information-based threads some good things can come out of there.

>>1920561
man has a point. some topics are radioactive because of the memery.

>>1920609
if you discuss shitty firearms on /k/ you will be called out for it, just like shitty history and shitty groups/nations will be here

>>1920618
that's only when some retard makes an x vs y post/thread

everyone loves even silly guns because to them/us guns are just cool. that mentality should be taken to /his/.

China is overrated as fuck.

You Are in a site made by An European descendant.

You Read this in An European language

You Read books made by europeans and you watch Movies about and made by Europeans.

Oh and you live in a European Country or a Country with am majority of European descendants.

Now you are wobdering why Most history is eurocentric

>>1917259
Western Russia has Always been influend or influenced Euro culture. And Have fought many Wars with European countries it is Just as much Europese as Let say Macedonia is

>>1920796
>An European descendant
Poole is a Jewish name.

Are they truly the biggest cucks of all then?

>>1920822
jews are europeans at this point

>>1917035
Anglos are barely even European, they generally don't give a shit about the continent.

>>1920618
Saying groups/nations are shitty on a history board is part of the problem. If some dude wants to talk about obscure tribesmen that invented the stick, let him. It could be interesting! History isn't a contest, it's a buffet, and having an open palate is nice.

>>1920618
>shitty history
History is only shitty when it's bad history, a la the "we wuzzing" kind. If you genuinely believe that there are past events in this world that aren't worth discovering, analyzing, and discussing, on principle alone, then history is not the subject for you.

Because current dominating class are euros and their sons and grandchildren.

Also because you live in a western country. Travel a bit and you'll see different things

>>1916864

>muh everything is equal fallacy

euro history is superior to the dung-rolling in sub-saharan africa, deal with it, obviously you'll get shit on when you try to compare the non-ventions in africa to the invention of rocketry, or try to elevate literally-who nations to great powers

>>1921380
and discussing the history is just history, but trying to WUZ it up as it happens in every thread related to ssa or australian primitives will just make you a target for humiliation

>>1921281
Specially on /his/.

Bet if we make a poll here 80% would unironically vote for her and the introduction of 6,000,000 BBC Somalian "child" refugees and the sterilization of the white male republican population

Europeans invented the concept of protecting buildings for their historical value and researching their own past even going so far to romantisize and catalogisize fairytales and the like.

This obsession spilled over on other people that were subjugated in the eurocentric centurys before so of course history is rightfully eurocentric.

Wait 60 years and it will be chinks dominating the field rightfully so.

>>1921380
There's no "suprerior" history you dumbfuck. You being more interested in rockets doesn't make tribal customs or whatever less interesting.

Maybe you being western explains why you're not only more interested in western stuff but also why you think it's "superior history"

>>1921380
No one said everyone's history is as interesting and as enjoyable you sperg. What I said was that there is no history not worth discovering and talking about. If you don't agree with that, I repeat, find another hobby.

because you probably learned history in a country who's history is interrelated with europe's
