I'm interested to see what people on the board think. At what era did it become almost inevitable that Europeans would become the superpowers whose influence, culture, religion and language would spread across the globe?
Edit: For the record, I put Mongols. I feel the end of Song pre-industrialisation and the mass killings in Khorasan and Transoxiana as well as the ending of the Islamic Golden Age gave Europe enough of a step-ahead that they would always be able to outdo the rest of the world from that point on, unless something equally devastating happened to them.
