I would challenge a eurocentric understanding of the early modern era while acknowledging the growing role of Europeans on the global stage by questioning the way European superpowers amassed power and money through colonization of other parts of the world, by conquering those territories eliminating their native people or enslaving them.
The rise of western Europe on the global stage is marked by that time in human history where they colonized territories in North America and exploited the many raw materials and natural resources to make a profit, displacing the Native American Indians that had lived there for thousands of years before the arrival of white Europeans.
Something similar happened with the Spaniards who colonized and exploited Mesoamerica and South America.
In more modern times, at the end of the 1800s, beginning of the 1900s, European superpowers split the African Continent in what was known as the "Scramble for Africa," causing so much pain and damage to the African people and their territories.
