What accounts for the rise of the state, the creation of the first global system, and the dominance of the West? The conventional answer asserts that superior technology, tactics, and institutions forged by Darwinian military competition gave Europeans a decisive advantage in war over other civilizations from 1500 onward. In contrast, Empires of the Weak argues that Europeans actually had no general military superiority in the early modern era. J. C. Sharman shows instead that European expansion is better explained by deference to strong Asian and African polities, disease in the Americas, and maritime supremacy earned by default because local land-oriented polities were largely indifferent to war and trade at sea.
Europeans were overawed by the mighty Eastern empires of the day, which pioneered key military innovations and were the greatest early modern conquerors. Against the view that the Europeans won for all time, Sharman contends that the imperialism of the late19th and early 20th centuries was a relatively transient and anomalous development in world politics that concluded with Western losses in various insurgencies. If the 21st century is to be dominated by non-Western powers like China, this represents a return to the norm for the modern era.

However, the game of dominion is changed once more by the stark population decline (impending & actual) in US, Europe, China (& India). There’s little more Darwinian than that. Innovation is a key determinant. As the saw says, the US innovates, Europe regulates, China imitates. Majestic, Majestyk.

Very true, as non-European societies have LONG been more advanced than Europeans, in just about every way. The rest of us have had to put up with the silly ideas of weak Europeans for far too long and it’s finally catching up with them now, which is why white people keep getting crazier, angrier and more violent every year…. And whenever this kind of topic is brought up, their reaction is inevitably crazy, angry and violent…

This does explain the subordination of Africa, India, and even China to England. I’t because those cultures were so powerful and advanced that they simply went Zen and allowed the incursion, secure in the knowledge that in only a couple centuries it would be over.

You may be presenting an overly reductive version of the author’s thesis, jk. At least I hope so. Unless he’s cunningly proffering weak arguments in order to advance his strongest possible case. Which is all a bit
Lewis Carroll. P’haps, in common with LC, Sharman also has designs on his cousin, & is cruelly mocking us, like the chortling Cheshire Cat.

The rest of the world is nothing without Europeans.
It would be interesting to see how these countries would have modernised nowadays without the dabbling of the West.
There would be no black people in Europe/America nor any Indians.
Africans might still be living in the stone age and eating each other, Indians would be throwing their widows on funeral fires, torturing people with thuggee and marrying children.
It’s also likely that they would have been enslaved by the Russians/Chinese/insert other foreign powers, not to mention still dying from preventable diseases and starvation due to no access to Western technology.
It must be hard to realise that your own ancestors created nothing and mine created everything.

Caesar you are a deluded fool, have fun living in Ireland and importing third world trash. Your people spent centuries fighting the British for your own cultural freedom and now you’re giving it away, and the worst thing is you support it.
December 17th, 2023
…yet more fatuous gas. When you describe fellow human beings as “trash” - how civilised can you be? A very poor & degraded representative of Western civilisation, in truth. And population is sharply declining in Europe AND the US. So such regions require immigration. You’ll have to share your basement yet.

That old lie, Japan seems to be doing very well without mass immigration. And these people are scum, they’re mostly uneducated with completely different values and you’re historically illiterate if you think mixing these invaders is a good idea. You clearly suffer from some sort of self loathing if you’re happy to see your own culture and country destroyed.
Then again, perhaps you’re an immigrant yourself? That would explain a few things.
December 17th, 2023
Oh, I think we proved who was “historically” illiterate. “Your boys took one hell of a beating - a hell of a beating.”
“Japan doing v well without mass immigration” - You’ve adroitly managed to adduce as your example one of the most densely populated countries in the world. (”One hell of a beating!”) Well done with that.
Whereas populations of US, Europe (India & China) are in stark decline.
Many immigrants here have come to work in the technology & pharmaceutical sectors, consequently their educational attainment is considerable (to 4th level).
Legal immigrants are not “invaders” - & as I patiently explained, each jurisdiction has its own immigration laws; people are regularly refused entry & deported. So, why are you so scared?
“you’re happy to see your own culture & country destroyed” - Where are you getting this melodramatic bilge?
We have Hindu, Muslim & Jewish kids learning Irish & Irish history; they’re playing Gaelic games; their parents are working, paying taxes, obeying the law, contributing to the community, aiding in charitable endeavours, etc. etc. Where do you see Irish culture being destroyed? Could you even find the place on a map? (Or your own country, ftm?)
And sure didn’t we all emanate from Africa originally? (That probably scared the white sheet off ya.)
Are you just terrified because you might have to share your dank basement with a lovely immigrant family? You’ll have to remove all your swastika designs from the wall first.
Although, the immigrant family will be gainfully employed & involved in educational programmes, so they’ll probably merit the basement more than yourself. You’ll be looking for new accommodation in jig time.

iraqois, you are an inbred know nothing with zero accomplishments and you’ll be forgotten 2 minutes after your last breath.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to go through life being an insecure loser who needs to constantly bring up others accomplishments and then jump on their coat tails because you happen to share the same skin colour. If you had any significant accomplishments that’s what you would bring up, but you don’t. Attaching yourself to the highly accomplished like some kind of parasite sucking up their admiration.
Similar to “Stolen Valor”, you unknowingly insult them by your attempted theft.
If any great white inventor or discoverer heard you try to claim you are somehow part of their accomplishments because you are white he would spit in your face and have security throw you out on your ass.
Only bitter angry losers like you claim it’s because they are white. I’ve never heard any extraordinarily accomplished person claim their greatness comes from being white or European. If you weren’t running you unlearned mouth all the time and you listened to them speak for themselves (a few book here cover what makes genius) they all pretty much give the same general answers for their greatness, with #1 across the board being obsessively practicing, thinking, working.
Keep the rage over your failed race, nation & culture coming - it’s keeps my schadenfreude rock hard baby.

Lots of words but no actual facts - the truth hurts
I presume that you’re recently off the boat Caesar, either that or you’re completely mad.

iraqois, are you a climate change/science diner? I ask because you white bellyaching bottom-feeders sound the same - make all sorts of claims but never back it up with any data.
**Immigrant Health-Care Workers in the United States**
.
“Nearly 2.8 million immigrants were employed as health-care workers in 2021, accounting for more than 18 percent of the 15.2 million people in the United States in a health-care occupation. This was slightly higher than immigrants’ share of the overall U.S. civilian workforce (17 percent) and the foreign born were especially over-represented among certain health-care occupations such as physicians and surgeons (26 percent) as well as home health aides (almost 40 percent). Approximately 1.6 million immigrants were working as doctors, registered nurses, dentists, pharmacists, or dental hygienists.”

If all the brown US immigrants went home, America would collapse overnight. American whites are incapable of starting or completing the necessary education (hard work) requirements so there are enough physicians, engineers, highly skilled IT employees to fulfill all the available positions.
Just think of all the obese white trash alive today because a brown or yellow skin surgeon migrated to the US. Perhaps they should go on strike & let y’all finish eating, smoking, drinking & ODing yourselves to death.
