Paper Summary:
The paper looks at the causes of Europe's rise to world predominance from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The paper explains how sailing ships (galleons) armed with guns provided the technological component, while the political divisions of Europe prevented the formation of a "gunpowder empire" that might have slowed or reversed technical developments.From the Paper:
"In several civilizations across Europe and Africa the world stood on a roughly equal footing in terms of their ability to influence or threaten one another. Civilizations in the New World lacked techniques such as iron making, known in the Old World but were isolated and not threatened by it. Shortly before, however, one civilization in Europe began to make forcible contact with others around the world, exploiting recently developed advances in the technologies of transport and warfare."More papers on European Predominance:
