“And then it got worse…” Would be a fitter sentence for describing world history 🤣

There’s more to history than the last 5 centuries.

I love the recurring theme that history stopped 100 years ago.

OP ignores all world history before 1400s.

Thats…not Europe lol

So “World History” means the last 5 or 6 centuries? If we’re keeping things eurocentric, we should at least expand to “knock, knock, it’s Asia” and “knock, knock, it’s North Africa” IMO.

But that’s just a fraction of the history lol. You forgot the door falling down and the, “Oh hey, it’s the Mongols,” as well as the doorway catching flame and the “Oh shit, it’s the Turks/Saracens/Moors.”

As an archeologists, I can confirm history began with the romans, there’s a 1,000 year gap where nothing happens, then history restarts in 1492.

More like:
“Lets go to the Middle East. In and out. 20 day adventure.” *stays for nearly a decade* “I was not in control of that situation at all!!”

No they’re not here to take over (yet), they just want to sell some shit…like clocks, and guns, and JESUS

This kind of sentiment actually ends up being its own kind of European exceptionalism. Blaming everything on Europe denies the agency and actions of people in the rest of the world. They weren’t singularly evil or ruthless, that’s the human condition the world over

Most universities refer to it as Western Civilization instead of World Civilization. I remember my first Western Civilization class began in the Middle East and worked its way westward. Asian, African and island civilization was for other civilization classes.

This is one of my major gripes with most people’s perception of history. People genuinely see history as just colonisation. When in reality that was just a small, very recent part of it

Maybe if you only consider written history

So much is lost and misunderstood, but at least we can throw stones in a glass house with out fear now.
