How did we manage to surpass Meds, in terms of power, prestige, achievement and influence, despite the fact that they had a 1000 year head start on us?

Everything has an end and you built on top of their previous work

true answer.
Americans could make that same thread about us as a whole and in 1 000 years who knows who it will be.

>you built on top of their previous work
That's my point. Why didn't they do the same?

Because the Capital created in southern Europe by italian merchants and the looting of the New World by Iberians went to North after Netherlands surpassed the italian textil manufacture and new agriculture improvements allowed the usage of the most fertile lands in the north.
After that, this capital went to America and now is going to China.

You don't have terroni

how can one tiny part of the globe be so superior in literally everything (culture, economics, warfare, genetics,...)
is the rest of the world even trying??

Because civilizations rise and fall, and nothing lasts forever.

Muslims always waged war with southern europe. Southern europe always asked help from northern europe and received denial. Eventually, muslims conquered them and dropped them onto the muslim tier.

He's right though. Two brutal world wars in the span of less than 30 years, not only decimated much of our continent, but put us off war forever. Maybe this will change in the coming decades, as the older generations die off and the horrors of war become a distant memory. Who knows.

I'll just leave this here
