It's amazing from 1400 and up

Big boats

They had access to the guns germs and steel factory and didn't want to share. Fucking shitlords.

Shoulder of giants
>Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī played a significant role in the development of algebra, algorithms, and Hindu-Arabic numerals.

Fibonacci
>He soon realised the many advantages of the Hindu-Arabic system. In 1202, he completed the Liber Abaci (Book of Abacus or Book of Calculation) which popularized Hindu–Arabic numerals in Europe.[2]

>so why did Europe dominate
Racial superiority.

>>2741508
At 1400 Europe got btfo by Islam, Europe turned into a behemoth when they became enlightened and ditched religion for science.

We get this same thread every day. Here's the gist of it:

>ottomans block trade in Europe forcing them by sea
>spaniards discover America
>Spanish diseases are sent and and with tactical diplomacy (i.e allying with angry rival tribes which number in the thousands) the America's is conquered
>take all the resources and turn things slightly up a notch
This led to the age of exploration and scramble for Europe.

> It's amazing from 1400 and up
The Spanish conquistador just turned the cog. The West edged itself ahead when the British acquired India and started the Industrial Revolution.
That's the gist of it. If you really want to get into it
>how did Anglos prove themselves to be superior to most other Europeans and form the lingua franca of the world
Because they live in a comfy island and haven't been threatened for centuries since (until WW2)

>>2741519
>Turks are also in the basket
But 500 years ago was their golden age .They were extremely powerful and Europe was shitting itself from a full on invasion by the Turkish hordes

>>2741526
* when the British acquired India 200 years ago

Fibonacci is considered to be "the most talented Western mathematician of the Middle Ages" but all he did was to introduce the hindu-arabic numerals and known for the fibonacci numbers but:
>Although Fibonacci's Liber Abaci contains the earliest known description of the sequence outside of India, the sequence had been noted by Indian mathematicians as early as the sixth century.[18][19][20][21]

muh aryan superiority

>>2741533
Do you honestly think that picture was drawn 500 years ago?

>>2741519
>muh race is the only factor
As bad as guns, germs and steel fanatics.

People don't give these guys enough credit. The Hindu-Arabic numerals would have stayed in the sub-continent if they didn't go and spread it to the world.

>>2741540
It doesn't make sense. What White mans burden is there to carry the people who were dominating Eurasia a few centuries ago.
