Two things before I get on to the main attraction:

Now that we are through with that: I pose this question to you, forum denizens. Why were the European kingdoms able to create these huge empires stretching over continents? The first and most obvious answer is that they were able to do this via technological superiority. But what allowed these people to seeming innovate much faster than many other places in the world?
My guess is: Europe is fairly suited for habitation by humans, and therefore these people can spend less time surviving, and more time innovating. Of course, this is just my own hypothesis I created in my head independent of any study and therefore I have no cite on hand to prove or back this up.
Hope this question isn’t to dull and “academic” (for a lack of a better word, I suppose) for what is seemingly a fairly laid-back forum. Thoughts, piercing criticisms, etc.? :dubious:
