Most significant regions in history:

MENA>East Asia>South/Southeast Europe>South Asia>West Europe>Americas

East and North Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Asia aren't really important.

America was nothing before euros took it

MENA is not a fucking region, stop using a buzzword made up last week

The territory of contemporary Iraq, southeastern Turkey and eastern Syria, which is identical to Mesopotamia, is demographically and socially distinct from the surrounding areas, and has been since the ancient Mesopotamians, so yes, it does exist.

>a buzzword made up last week
Are you retarded?

America and Europe at the top, it's not even close desu

Huh? That's what it is.

>won 2 world wars
it's quite significant considering the alternate path of history if america didn't win it for the eurofags

Spotted retard-poster

PLS FUCK OFF OF /INT/ ALREADY YOU MANAGED TO BE EVEN MORE CANCEROUS THAN THE FRENCH GUY

This should be obvious, but just because you realized something existed until last week, it doesn't mean it was made up last week.

The first war was won by the French and the Brits.

The second one was won by the Soviets.

The US just happened to be allied with the winning side both times. You can make a case that their presence was invaluable in WWI in reducing the time it would take to finish the conflict and the loss of life attached to it, but not so much for WWII, where what they actually accomplished was avoiding Soviet control of Western Europe.

Middle east and northern africa are not made up regions.

TThose two together are not a single region, it's like someone said "oh, morocco isn't in the middle east? Let's just say MENA since it's all the same anyway"

(You)
you're talking to this guy (pic related)

no need to argue with him

The Americas had the Incas and they are cool

Western Europe is more relevant than the rest of the world combined.

>Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519. With an estimated population between 200,000 and 300,000, many scholars believe Tenochtitlan to have been among the largest cities in the world at that time.[14] Compared to Europe, only Paris, Venice and Constantinople might have rivaled it. It was five times the size of the London of Henry VIII.[6]

>Hernando Cortés reportedly told the Spanish monarch that the Aztec physicians were superior to those in Spain, so superior, in fact, that the king need not bother sending Spanish physicians to the New World. Statement later confirmed in a early letter by the personal physian of the Spanish monarch who spent 7 years studying the Aztec medicine in a research trip that was expected to last 6 months: ‘"I marveled, in this and in innumerable other herbs, which are nameless among us, how in the Indies, where people are so uncultured and barbaric, there are so many herbs, some with known uses and some without, but there is almost none, which is not known to them and given a particular name".

>their estimate of the length of the synodic month being more accurate than Ptolemy's,[2] and their calculation as to the length of the tropical solar year was more accurate than that of the Spanish when the latter first arrived

>The Aztec Triple Alliance, which ruled from 1428 to 1521 in what is now central Mexico, is considered to be the first state to implement a system of universal compulsory education.[4][5] Something that would only be achieved again 407 years later.

>literally quoted yourself and called yourself a retard

And that is definitely not me either

The most important events in history were animal domestication and agriculture and the industrial revolution
can't pinpoint agriculture as agriculture sprung up independently everywhere but you can look at what region domesticated what animal first
Oh and the industrial revolution obviously happened in Europe

my post was for meant for
>called yourself a retard
No

This.

The industrial revolution is the biggest meme since the "renaissance". It was nothing but a consequence of the much more significant and remarkable scientific revolution, which is truly the greatest achievement in human history.

Everything is a consequence of something else dude, that's such a pointless thing to say. The industrial revolution changed everything for mankind and that's why it's up there even if you call it a meme.

also put northern europe before east asia

>MENA not number or two

All these dumb posters itt

Why?

The Greeks and Romans are to us what the Mesopotamians and Egyptians were to them. It is very hard to put the former on top of the latter.

And Western Europe (i.e. France, UK, Germany, (sort of) Iberia and the Netherlands) only rose into prominence until the early modern period, which is way too recent to be considered "significant in history". They're very important to the modern day, but being generous, the last 500 years are only around 15% of what we consider history.

Because he's a butthurt snownigger.

nah if anything they're behind central asia. i just forgot them
i get the argument about who came first, but the amount we owe modern society's political system and technology to those two regions outweighs MENA just slightly for me. desu you could include south europe with MENA during a certain time period

>northern europe

Someone doesn't know anything about the 30 Years War, the Deluge or the Northern War.
If you need me to explain why N. Europe is at least more relevant than S.E. Asia then I will, but understand that you're a retard.

But greeks got many from phoenicians same for romans

Greeks and romans just "passed" that knowlwdge to you

If not for MENA then not civ for you

>MENA
>Northern Europe
>Americas
>India
>Southern Europe
>Central Asia
>China
>East Asia
>Eastern Europe
>Subsaharan Africa

The thing is that the Middle East and Egypt got into the game far earlier than even the Mycenaean Greeks, and they provided them with some things as fundamental as writing and time-keeping.

It's fine to put South Europe high on the least, but it's hard to make an argument for putting them on top of MENA.

>30 Years War, the Deluge or the Northern War.
You're literally just naming the few conflicts where Sweden was even remotely relevant and calling that an argument.

The 30 years war was for all intents and purposes, a civil war in the HRE that became a proxy war that cemented the religious divisions of Europe. The Deluge and the Northern War are regional wars which only really determined who would rule the region in the the years to come (hint: it was Russia).

Northern Europe has never really been on the world stage, and its population is tiny and not that remarkably different from the rest of Europe.

Meanwhile, SEA has always controlled maritime communication and trade between the two juggernauts of China and India. That accounts for an extremely large percentage of both historical and modern trade, and in turn makes the region one of the most culturally diverse and ever-changing places on Earth.

>MENA

What the fuck has North Africa contributed to the world?

Pro tip: Egypt is ME not NA

What is carthage?

Brainlet

Stop being autistic.

Egypt is literally located at the North of Africa.

Carthage, probably the second most important power in North Africa (until the Romans happened), was originally a Phoenician colony (i.e. from the Middle East).

Ever since Cyrus the Great, whatever political shift that happened to the Middle East would usually follow suit for North Africa. Greek rule, Roman rule, conversion to Islam, Ottoman rule, domination by Europeans, etc.

>The term “North Africa”, when commonly used in North Africa and the Middle East, often refers only to the countries of the Maghreb and Libya. Egypt, due to its greater Middle Eastern associations, is in the Middle East.

Trash tier definition

Lame.

The entire world is obese thanks to amerindian crops.

Central Asia, because of the centrifugal force that made the Mongols and other Asiatic nomads the worst threat for every civilization located in the outer of Eurasia.

Atlantic Europe, because it had the resources, the technology and the geographical advantage that gave the control of the Atlantic ocean to UK, France, Spain and Portugal

North America, because of the power projection it gives you on both Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

The rest is shit
