minus-squareZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 天前I mean… you forget China. And most of Asia. They were already pretty advanced. They introduced math and science and philosophy to Europe. Not to mention there were important trade routes between Europe and China. And north Africa too. I’d bet technology would’ve made its way into central and South America where they already were pretty advanced.

France, England, Spain sea power came a good bit after if I remember correctly. Kahn and the reign of the Steps came after China’s major history. It certainly wasn’t in shambles but well past the main kingdoms.
