Document Summary
Well, if you think about the last 500 years more and more the rest of the world had to respond to initiatives, that were rooted in the european. More and more what happened there allowed westerners to travel to or impose themselves upon other parts of the world in varying ways and varying degrees. So that"s why the rise of the west is a way to describe the last 500 years in a very loose and metaphorical way. Host: between about 1500 and 1900, the world was transformed. And political centers evolved into a global system dominated by europe. Host: historians disagree over explanations of how the european west rose to global domination. But historians do agree that the rise of the west is a topic of key. Host: the rise of the west is the title of an influential world history text. Human community, it was written by historian william mcneill and published in 1963.
