So how could a backwater place in a corner of Eurasia continent changed the history of mankind so profoundly?

>backwater

Japan should be Light Green or Yellow

>tfw your country isn't strong green

Ethiopia shouldn't be green.

...

Why is Turkey light green?

What's up with north somalia's grey?

Because it's a meme tier map. Especially considering most of the ME was independent for most of their history under Ottoman control.

byzantine days

Well I mean if you go by any point in history, Spain, Portugal, Russia and the entirety of the Balkans was under Arab control.

Conquering savages in the Americas and Australia doesn't mean much friend.

Especially considering the millions of our brothers in Europe right now, it's an Arabian future.

>backwater
God, this myth needs to die.

Europe has not always been DOMINANT, and had a few comparatively shitty periods (just like North Africa, the Mid East, India, and China all did at various points) but it was never a "backwater."

>Persia and Afghanistan were never conquered by the Greeks

Uw0tm8

Yes it was.

>Russia and the entirety of the Balkans was under Arab control.

Macedonian conquests, then roman rule, then Byzantine rule

>because europe wasn't relevant until roman influence and didn't peak until the renaissance means its influence is not important
Sorry kid, for better or worse it's europe that laid the ground for globalism. Everyone is now following or at least emulating the western model, from clothes to architecture and from administration to politics.

>Russia
>Europe

haha good one

>Europe stretches as far as the ural mountains
>Russia isn't part of Europe
pick one and only one

In that case Turkey is also a European country and is wrongly colored on the map.

>ural mountains in anatolia
really cogitates my cortex

Japan has been occupied for 70 years. They can't even have their own army because of big bully USA.

this, same goes for southern korea to an extent

also burma
>not ruled by the british for over a hundred years

There is literally nowhere the white devil hasn't gone

>backward
Europeans are the apogee of human sociocultural and genetic evolution.

>French Guyana
>Europe

>North Korea
>never controlled by Europe

meme map

French guyane is still a french department you nonce

No, it wasn't.

Literally what? You meant to reply to another post, right?

Then what's the fucking point of having a colonized or controlled by Europe category you retard?

>colonized or controlled by Europe
past tense you illiterate mong, they still own it

>Especially considering the millions of our brothers in Europe right now, it's an Arabian future.

Yeah, bit that's not military conquest
You will be remembered as the first nation conquering a continent through the sheer pity your inferiority inspired to its inhabitants

It's still not PART OF EUROPE, though, dude. It should be colored green, because it was colonized.

Honestly, Siberia should be green too. Russia got to keep their empire because it was contiguous (and too Russified/sparsely populated to be viable on its own in the postcolonial era) but it started as a colonial possession too.

>This country is colonized
>PAST TENSE DURR

>colour-coded autism

Not that guy, but the use of past tense doesn't mean that it the control/colonization has to have ended. Learn your own language before you call somebody else illiterate.

>"is colonized" same as "was colonized"
wew lad

>the key says "was controlled"

Doesnt say "is" either. How autistic are you? All the greens are territories that USED to be owned by europeans. Purple is STILL owned by europeans.
