>>2299335
They didn't dominate, colonize and conquer the world. They were measuring dicks.

What was the partial control or influence in Saudi Arabia? Does it mean the Ottomans?

>>2299356
probably the french or british since they were surrounded by them after ww1 iirc

>>2299335
Location. Europe was small, densely populated. Since there were so many people, all divided, they were constantly at war. With war comes technological advancements and battlefield skill. With peacetime comes population boom. Europe eventually got to the point where they needed more money to fight the wars, so they set up trade elsewhere. Then they needed land for their expanding population, which gave way to colonisation (I am not saying this was the only reason colonisation happened). Then they needed more resources, which gave way to imperialism. During the imperialism times, the west created medicines that created another population boom, while also making it easier to expand. Because of their need to kill each other so effectively, they became the worlds rulers. That same lust for blood is also what gave way to their eventual collapse.

I would say
the plethora of natural borders allowed states to achieve enough stability
At a convenient position where influences can be felt from other parts of the world.
Lots of coast for fishing and lots of semi isolated parts leading to cultural diversity.
Iron everywhere.
Excellent farming lands (especially in France, the most significant European nation to emerge in the middle ages)
High population density in critical North West Europe and Italy during early modern period
Lots of wars leading to technological advance.
Temperate climate.
Pigs cows horses (sorry but you can't ride zebras)
Mostly harmless fauna (apart from pesky wolves and malaria in the south.)
Coal

There's lots of reasoncss I can think of, many of which are shared by India, central America, China etc but only Europe has all of these. In the end it's a combination of having these features and sheer luck that allowed Europe to dominate.

Also I'm certain religion and culture player a big part but I'm uncertain to what effect.

>>2299335
The reason is from a lot of undeterminable factors that ultimately led to the emergence of the Catholic Church. One of the reasons was because of a massive decentralisation of Europe in the very early medieval age; something that China never had.

The nuclear family and taboo on incest are not human norms - incest and living with one's extended family, and living on one's family residence for generations because of ancestor worship were prevalent throughout the world pretty much everywhere until the Catholic Church sanctioned against it.

The Catholic Church was also the first institution in the world that made privatised property contracts, as well as testament to the eldest child, laying the groundwork for the individualism of the Renaissance

>>2299396
The Catholic Church also had a much more clearer fiscal house and a much more structured bureaucracy than its' Roman predecessor, as well as kickstarted the rule of law properly in Europe using the Justinian code

Good to know that you are a nigger.Now it is clear why your post makes no fucking sense.You can ride zebras. Horses cows and pigs existed in all of Eurasia and a good part of Africa

Bears are harmless? Wouldn't harmful fauna encouraged technological advancements like war as you implyied before you stupid baboon.
>Coal
Useless until the industrial revolution and Europe was alredy ahead of the rest of the world by quite a long margin before that.

It's funny how you write that post like you're some kind of authority and say something that retarded. No, you can't ride zebras.

>>2299446
This sure is a valid point, i think. But besides africa being a very "uncivilized" continent, why where there no efforts to also colonize this part of it? I mean, alot of colonies turned out to be solely kept for prestige reasons or turned out to be to hard to keep under control/ enforce certain bourocracy like taxes etc. It makes no sense to me why this part of africa just never got colonized. Are the natives poison spitting snake people or what?

He's right, you can't. Their backs can't support the weight of a full grown human. It's like saying you can ride dogs, but only if you're a child, which makes it pointless.

It took Brits less than a year nigger. Of course niggers couldn't pull it of as they couldn't even manage to invent the wheel on their own.Btw current horses look nothing alike as their ancestors and were breeded specially to be able to carry more weight and be more docile

lel no, they're just generally ornery animals because they live with a whole bunch of ferocious predators.
Aside from their bad attitude, they can't support the weight of a grown man. only kids and small women.

you piece of shit retard without any knowledge and education

its not about riding, its about making it breed, making it be your tool for work, zebras are not and many other animals for evolutionary reason

keep prosiming le internet for your knowledge, shitstain

>>2299457
>>2299461
Zebras are fucking maniacs and are realyl hard to tame, if even at all. It is like keeping a lion as a pet, sure you can do that, but it will never be ensured that your lion won't go apeshit on the mailman or other people walkin by your property. Same with zebras, they are just to hard to domesticate to keep them as working animals, that's all. No bs about a weak back or that it is impossible blabla. It sure is not impossible, but also not very valid to do.

>>2299463
They're generally ornery animals because any who were more predisposed towards domestication and wandered close to camps were killed, more like.

>they can't support the weight of a grown man. only kids and small women.

So? Nobody's saying they should be used exactly the same as horses. An animal capable of carrying small loads is still infinitely more useful than no animal.

>>2299475
>for evolutionary reason

Yes because they were hunted down, those who had bad attitudes were evolutionary more likely to survive.

>>2299485
significant evolution does not take place over thousands of years

The average nig is 5'3 and they don't have much food so the weight wouldn't have been a problem
>>2299475

>>2299490
Evolutionary selection has always played a role in domestication. Canines more willing to stay close to human camps/hunting parties were rewarded with food that gave them an evolutionary advantage over canines who would avoid them.

>>2299504
The people who hunted zebras did so indiscriminately. There was no amount of "friendler, easier to domesticate" zebras that were preferentially targeted. Any unwary zebras that didn't react immediately and aggressively to threats would have been eaten by lions and hyena packs long before humans came around.

>>2299441
It was basically an American colony

>>2299372
China did too, buddy. Its the europeans location that made it better suited than India. Unless you tell me different, without using insults and use actual words.

>>2299582
>europeans location
You mean the one with crappy land and was the furthermost to the main focus of population in the world? European location was shit. And European crops are crap compared to the asian ones. Europeans are just superior to everyone else. There is no point discussing it

>african zebra cavalry could have easily conquered the world
>blacks folks is just too dumb ya see
really, it is overwhelmingly because the only place they could grow grain and have a sizeable was Ethiopia and the Sahel

>>2299600
sizeable economy*

>>2299588
oceanic climate became very productive for grain from charlemagne onwards, it became a population center rivalling the Indo-Gangetic plain and North China plain and it had close proximity to the Mediterranean to boot, see >>2299430 for a full explanation

the reason is because we invented the printing press and saw it's value in transmitting ideas.

Ideas started cross pollinating from different locations over europe and european intellectual development started increasing at a rate much faster than anywhere else on the planet.

e.g. in europe, within something like 80 years of the first printing press being made in germany, every major european capital had at least one and there a hundred give or take in europe in total. All reproducing books, letting ideas be spread much faster.

By contrast the whole middle east had something like 6 printing presses within the first 200 years of the first printing press being invented.
and most of them were run by christian orthodox monasteries because islamic caligraphy scholars objected strongly to them. Such that there were only 2 printing presses in arabic.

China invented printing presses or something similar first , but the royalty intentionally made only a few of them and kept control of them.


once europe was developing intellectully at a far faster rate, and started making every single new discovery in mathematics and physics, it was only inevitable that our manufacturing and GDP and military technology would make us the rulers of the world.

I mean we had newton and leibniz. we had calculus 200 years before anyone else. No other mathematician anywhere else in the world independently discovered calculus in the 150-something years it took europe from that point to colonise the rest of the world.

calculus is foundation of all advanced engineering.
How were we ever not going to dominate?

>>2299606
printing press was just 1 of many innovations springing from a large sophisticated economy which was itself the result of the large grain producing areas in Europe and exposure to Mediterranean trade

>>2299605
>oceanic climate became very productive for grain
Grain is a shit crop compared to maize or rice

>>2299606
then the question becomes "why did europe invent the printing press and not other places?"

and I think the answer to that is partly luck.
China really got there first in a somewhat more primitive form, but they kept the technology mostly locked away.
So it could easily have been china who were the winners of humanity.

It really is just a stroke of luck of the whims of the ruling lord who happened to see the technology first and decided what to do with it.

luckily whoever ruled gottenburg didn't see any reason to get in teh way of the man who happened to invent the press.

perhaps christianity can be thanked for this to some extent.

>>2299607
but when you ask why europe in particular became the winners, you have to look at the printing press, because it was the killer invention which europe had and china had but did not use.

in terms of grain production and established farming settlements and trade and economy size and strength, china had europe beaten by A LOT from a long time ago.

if those broad factors were what decided it then it should have been china , not europe.

but europe overtook china through rapid intellectual development and this quirk of history that we happened to invent and make use of the most useful invention since paper.
