In the 15th century, Europeans viewed the world as a largely unexplored and mysterious place, dominated by a Eurocentric perspective that placed Europe at the center of civilization. They were aware of the existence of other continents, such as Asia and Africa, but often held misconceptions about their cultures and peoples. The period was characterized by a growing curiosity driven by the Renaissance, leading to exploration and the desire for trade routes, as exemplified by figures like Columbus and da Gama. This era marked the beginning of increased interaction between Europe and other parts of the world, reshaping global dynamics.
Some Chinese inventions were thought to have been created by Europeans due to a combination of cultural bias and the lack of awareness about the origins of these innovations. European scholars and historians often overlooked or dismissed Chinese contributions, attributing them instead to their own culture as part of a Eurocentric worldview. Additionally, the timing of certain inventions' introduction to Europe, often through trade or exploration, led to confusion about their true origins. This misattribution reflects broader patterns of historical interpretation and the complexity of cultural exchange.
James Mill's periodization of Indian history was problematic because it oversimplified and misrepresented the complexities of India's diverse cultures and historical developments. He divided Indian history into three distinct periods—Hindu, Muslim, and British—without adequately acknowledging the rich interactions and continuities between these eras. This linear and Eurocentric perspective marginalized indigenous narratives and contributions, leading to a skewed understanding of India's past. Additionally, it reinforced colonial attitudes by portraying Indian society as stagnant and in need of Western intervention for progress.

Eurocentric views on African societies are ones of lies and manipulation. Normally people who are Eurocentric discount or disfranchise the African people and their inventions and or innovations. They also look down on their culture as well, thinking that it is primitive, when in reality almost everything you see around you has been influenced either subtly or blatantly by their culture and history.
Because the people who called it a World War were Eurocentric and did not care much about the rest.
