The 17th Century was the Dutch century. Spain was in decline already. The British got so arseblasted by the Dutch successes that they allied with FRANCE AND SPAIN to destroy them.

>Century of Evangelism

He's completely right and you're blasé calling him a monarchist thinking that's in any way an insult. Retard.

this desu senpai

>anyone but China/India relevant till 18th century

>GDP in a time with virtually no exchanges where wealth was not used in a productive way
wow man you sure showed those europeans

>was the Dutch century
t.Williem Van Bommel
The Dutch were never a dominant power

>GDP before globalism and industrial warfare
>Any relevance
Even Portugal was a bigger power than China in the XV century

>implying
china's growth is already slowing down and India's growth is even more unsustainable.

>Fuck up the Anglo fleet by sailing up their most important river without any resistance

17th century was the Mughals' century unless we're only counting countries that still exist.

>21st century - Century of China
fuck off, liu kang

Fucking cuckold never produced an heir though

>tfw the house of orange-nassau could've been sitting on the English throne for centuries to come

17th century was the Mughals' century when you count territorial expansion

>>Spain, France and England declare war, but never manage to destroy the country
Spain was slapping their dick on the Dutch until the French intervened.And then France in a couple of years destroyed all the Dutch influence
>>Fuck up the Anglo fleet by sailing up their most important river without any resistance
Still not their century
>>Replace their king by a Dutch prince
>>Finalize Spain's decline
The Dutch barely won any battle against Spain.Appart from Downs you can't claim that they finalized Spain's decline specially when they were about to get rolled if France hadn't intervened after Nördlingen

Yeah some skirmishes of a miniscule Portuguese fleet in the other side of the world against a huge Chinese fleet on their waters.Are you serious or just a butthurt chink canadian?

>>century of china
Not really likely.

Colonial naval powers were mainly few troops/ships conquests against native naked barbarians with spears.

It wasn't until the industrial era edge did they become powerful enough to push the Qingz and that was after the Qingz had been decadent after the widespread Opium epidemic problems of Qingz.

The statement "Portugal was a bigger power than China in XV century" bears no merit. Portugese didn't even have a standing army till late 16th century totaling no more than 8,000.

Dunno m8

More than anything Britain ever accomplished at least

t-t-that was voluntarily, i swear. It was a revolution

they had Denmark on their side, its not really that impressive.

Shit opinions. Those entities exited in eras where powers equal & greater than them existed.

USA is the only correct one. And is only true since the 90s.

Not to mention Mysore

Face it, Europe was irrelevant before 15th century. The highlights are 15th century onward and 4th century backwards.

In between those are the Islamic Golden age and multiple Chinese Golden age.

Only one that's wrong in your list
France was pretty bad in that era, but they still won all their wars against the English

>but they still won all their wars against the English
Didn't Henry cucked Francis out Of Calais?

they were economically and culturally powerful though. if were talking military i guess hre or byzantines

What is this

On the contrary
England had been allowed to retain Calais in the treaty ending the HYW, but they lost it soon after

>they were economically and culturally powerful
Yeah but certainly not economically and culturally more powerfull than Byzantium or the Abasies

>byzantines
Manzikert happened

I meant the battle of the spurs though

Change for Spain, and we are good.

The first half was still the spanish golden age, i will give you that the second half of the 17th everything went to shit.

>tfw Westerners think China wants to be like the US

We just want to unify China and be at peace without foreigners trying to invade us. Is that too much to ask? America always tries to get the angry yapping Jap and Taiwan dogs to get at us. No more!

When did Alexios show up? 1100's?

Spain didn't ally with France and/or England vs the Dutch one single time.

It was either neutral or with the Dutch, depending on the specific war.

t. Alberto Barbosa

They controlled the entire Indian Ocean.

That doesn't make them an hegemon when the duke of Cadiz almost conquered all the south of Portugal by himself

>21st century - Century of China

5th, 6th century

I must agree with you about the Ottomans. Few centuries they were only super power in Europe

You're an idiot.

>China
>ruling anything

>15th century - Century of Italy
Pffft, they were a bunch of city-states. Replace them with Ottomans and it'd be a better list.

>what is cultural relevance

ottomans were literally the superpower in late 15th century and early 16th century.

the france-ottoman alliance was the NATO of their time

It was still Spain in the beginning, but then it was France. The turning point is generally considered to be the battle of Rocroi in 1643.

>17th century - Century of Britain
wrong. absolutely wrong.
answer, like the other guy said before, was officially Spain in the beginning and France at the end. But in reality France was the only country to "win" the thirty years' war. Richelieu's war effort was well funded and well fought. On the other hand, it became increasingly clear in the first decade of the 17th century that Spain was bankrupted. iirc it defaulted one or two times in this span of time alone. Perhaps, though, we can call the early half of the century the period of Dutch mercantile and naval supremacy which only got displaced by the anglo-dutch war of the 1550s and Louis XIV's near-successful invasion on the Netherlands in 1660 or so. Britain did not become a power until the 9 years' war in the 1690s, when the Glorious Revolution (i.e. ascension of a Dutch king to the throne) forced it to participate in European affairs seriously for the first time in nearly a century. As for the 18th century, for all those who say its was the French century are wrong. It's fair to say that Britain and France shared the century duking it out on the continent and around the world. France (though this has been contested by some) was the cultural center of Europe. But people looked even more admiringly at the productiveness of the anglos, their prosperous agricultural and mercantile pursuits, their seeming lack of rigid social hierarchy and stable constitutional monarchy. Britain was the one that withstood the huge financial burdens of 18th century warfare. France, as one poster here already explained, couldn't; France's imminent fiscal insolvency in the 1780s was probably the powder keg that exploded into the French Revolution. Britain financed its wars more effectively with a better tax system paid into by willing subjects (though there was plenty of grumbling about it) and with superior financial institutions and therefore leading to way lower interest on its debt than the continental powers.

woops meant for this guy

China is over due for a massive civil war.
