Because you are euro?
fuck trump and fuck white people
cuz everyone think dey WUZ but yurop really WUZ
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
Because Europeans travelled to all corners of the world and had an impact in some way. European history is world history.
Because of innovations, literature, and empires.
Where's my prize?
Because if it wasn't some libtard would call it cultural appropriation.
t. pol false flagger
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
It has the spiciest memes
>russia
>europe
Pakistan was here.
Pakistan rulez.
Because you didn't start with the Chinese like you should have.
The chinese are overrated
the chinese did literally everything before it was cool
because you live in the west and everyone else is irrelevant and always has been
t. ping ling
Because it fucking isn't, this is bait, you aren't even trying.
Hi CTR
Because you live in a western country
Because non-Europeans aren't even human.
>en.wikipedia.org
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.
because africans never learned to write
Because history is written by the victors?
Superior record keeping and suitable languages to create records.
>be autistic
>interested in the history of early locomotives
>this mostly takes place in europe
>I am now a eurocentric racist piece of shit
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.
Me too, i'm an autistic neonazi now
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.
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.
>hey bearlita, why do the ayylmaos only ever talk about humans? Is it because they're the ones which created, invented and theorized?
>NO THIS PLANET IS HUMANCENTRIC REEEEEEEEE
really makes your stuff happen in the head

hmm
good post
agreed
We did write and compile it, so we get the permission to have a bias
Because i prefer European history. So do most people. If you dont like it, or prefer African/Asian history. Start a thread about it.
Even when our enemies show their face we are still to blame
These people exist you know, and there's a lot of them
>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.
Because, for better or for worse, the world is eurocentric
>People use bait memes on Veeky Forums :CCCCCCCCC
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.
>le epic trole we r legion expoct us
this is how it goes
>discuss x
>x sucks compared to y
>DUDE LOL WTF SOMEONE ARREST THIS GUY WTF YOU CAN'T JUDGE STUFF LOL THIS ISN'T A STRATEGY GAME
>get further BTFO'd
>starts crying
>thread 404
meanwhile if you did this
>x sucks compared to y
>yes
>thread continues
???
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
Go somewhere else with your 2013 reddit tier memes
this isn't /int/ though. Veeky Forums actually should be for discussion.
i don't go there, but what is Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums like when it comes to actual discussion? in the /k/ information-based threads some good things can come out of there.
man has a point. some topics are radioactive because of the memery.
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
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 Veeky Forums.
>Chinese did every thing before it was cool
>air-warfare
>colonization of a New World
>putting a man on the Moon
Nah.
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
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
>An European descendant
Poole is a Jewish name.
Because white man have small dick so he compensate
Heavily influenced by European Culture* mainly used by White people
>/pol/ complains about jews
>on a site made by a jew
Are they truly the biggest cucks of all then?
jews are europeans at this point
Anglos are barely even European, they generally don't give a shit about the continent.
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.
>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
In China
>Why is history so sinocentric?
In Japan
>Why is history so Japanocentric?
In India
>Why is history so Indian-centric?
In the Muslim world
>Why is history so Arab-centric?
on Veeky Forums's Veeky Forums?
>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
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
Specially on Veeky Forums.
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.
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"
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
