How did one continent single-handedly shit on the whole world

>>2542341
>Whole world
Not counting Asia, obviously.

>>2542354
Uh, yes. Yes, counting Asia.

>>2542363
Uh, no, not counting Asia.

>>2542341
Location, previous knowledge and findings,etc.

The Mediterranean trade highway plus oceanic climate agriculture.

>>2542367
Uh, yes, counting Asia.

How can you possibly disagree with this? Obviously we're not talking about antiquity or the medieval period here; Europe wasn't really shitting on anybody then. In the period we're talking about all of northern Asia, virtually all of south and southeast Asia and Oceania, much of the Middle East and parts of East Asia were colonized outright. China and Japan etc weren't colonized but European powers sure as fuck bullied them for a while.

>>2542341
>Was it skill?
Geography.

>>2542409
No, not geography. Don't tell me the Indians for example do not have a very advantaging geography as a subcontinent.

If you think well, it's insane, Europe has been a light of civilization and culture to the world but at the same time their great war's between them, were the most terrible.
But yea, for example how the hell, Portugal with only 1 million people in the XV century discovered and conquered half of the entire planet.

>>2542419
They didn't though. All disparities between civilizations can be boiled down to geography

>>2542435
only if you want them to and choose to look nowhere else

>skill
it was skill at war apparently

area least held back by stagnation due to excess resources per capita > greater intelligence per capita > more anarchistic per capita > greater culmination of ideas per cap > greater strength > greater chaos & subsequently greater order, a greater difference and greater total amount of each, the land could sustain naturally through its uniquely diversified geography a greater interconnection of peoples & ideas yet still naturally dividedent enough to foster the growth of ideas & tech etc before re-spilling over and interweaving amongst itself.

>>2542465
yes

>>2542407
Just checked. Nah, you're right, I was talking out of my arse, sorry.

>>2542341
Connection to the Atlantic meant Euros were destined to conquer the New World, had they existed in Asia and were connected to the Pacific they would just be just like China and unable to expand into the New World due to the enormous distance in the Pacific Ocean.

because China was too isolationist

Because they memed themselves into a continent even if it's totally arbitrary

>>2542479
what about africans?

the industrial revolution

>>2542486
What about them?

>>2542421
>conquered half of the entire planet.
What are you talking about?

You don't need to fucking conquer water and those red spots are hardly half of the planet.

>>2542570
Buddy, they circumnavigated the world for the first time, controlled all the international commerce by dominating the seas, submited india, africa to their laws, founded nagasaki, discovered southamerica, the english did exactly the same after them.

>>2542611
That's still not half of the planet.

>>2542452
What to atribute them to then? God's favour? In the end, Europeans got ahead because of luck and circumstance.

>>2542688
just like america

Literally capitalism.

Economic profit was the incentive for basically all European Empires.

>>2542474
>implying iq to population is linearly averagely weighted within a society/civilisation
lmfao

>stronger genes
What? Less inbreeding? Natural selection?

>>2542688
the white man is just better it seems

how can other races even compete?

It's called industrial revolution.

No other place was industrialized except Europe. This makes it easy to conquer enemies. Nothing can fucking compete with the industrial output and organization a nation of several million can produce.

The first non-European nations to industrialize were probably Japan and Russia.

>>2542688
>because of luck and circumstance.

you can attribute this to just about every grand civilization or empire.

Capitalism was a thing after the Industrial revolutions.
Money = Capitalism is a fallacy.

Mercantilism

The white race is obviously superior to niggers and chinks.
Just look at the Opium wars, 20 British ships were enough to cuck a country with 100 million inhabitants for the rest of the century.

>>2543175
You sound like a fucking nigger.

>Blacks are superior.
>20 Tyrones with machine guns and machetes are enough to cuck an entire neighborhood.

I tell you why the bongs were succesful. The Chinese didn't deem it possible that white people could behave like niggers.

does this look like european art to you? c'mon anon

russian has no similarities between a language like french, please be real

the tsars were related to victoria but you know what so was puyi. just a really long relation ok

>>2542761
>linearly averagely weighted
this doesn't mean anything. within different races there are different IQ averages, IQ is 75% genetic. That's why niggers got conquered so fast because they had no fucking technology at all because they have retard level IQ.

>>2543233
>does this look like european art to you?
yes?

>>2543196
>t. chink
What was the century of humiliation
>>2542688
you are right no actions don't produce reactions! randomness produces reactions, niggers just had very bad luck and us aryans had very good luck
>>2542435 this isn't entirely untrue is was the climate and geography of Europe that naturally selected the master race.

They developed ocean going ships. Polynesians developed it during the stone age, but they didn't also have guns.

European guns were almost as good as Asian ones, and they controlled the sea.

The wealth of two whole continents plus the Indian Ocean trade gave them the funds to develop. Nobody else possibly could unless Europeans decided to stop dominating trade.

>>2543233
>Balkans are European
>Russia isn't
explain how you consolidate the two notions.

>>2544302
If they're retards how did they develop iron working independently, built large empires and shared cultural features with other cultures (complex mythologies, deities, stories, social stratification etc.)?

also go back to pol baitfag

Fact: 70% of Russia population live in Europe

Europe had more opportunities for trade than any other continent (China had everything and wanted to import nothing, Middle-East and India were doing well but got fucked by, for example, the Mongols) thanks to geography and other factors, which meant ships developed a lot and cities grew. This allowed for the discovery of the New World to happen which later lead to global European hegemony.

They had competing polities which meant they had to develop their military and economy as much as possible which meant they needed bureaucracy, technology and training.

Also, Europeans stole a lot of crap from the Arabs and the Chinese and developed them further.

>>2543175
If the white race is superior why did it steal everything (science, technology, institutions such as universities) from the Mesopotamians/Arabs and the Chinese?

>>2544361
>why did it steal every technology ever

Are you actually retarded and telling me that europeans haven't disproportionately developed more things for humanity and technologies than dare i say every other race combined?

>>2544361
Yeah, Das rite, son.

White devils stole our inventions and make us their slavez
