    World history without the Arabs, Mongols, Ottomans, imperial Japan? Even from an eurocentristic point of view that’s too reductive.

      Interestingly eurocentrists often refer to Alexander the Great as taking over “the world” even though he only took over Europe and the Middle East (which is what they saw as “the world” at the time). His troops abandoned him almost immediately upon entering what is now modern day Punjab (Pakistan/India).
