Lee Jae-jun: How the West Conquered the World

In 1712, in a letter to the Mogul Emperor Zahandar Shah, the governor of Bengal, at the East India Company, described himself as “as insignificant as the smallest grain of sand.”. In his next statement, he said: “We English are the lords of the universe, the most obedient slaves of your Lord, the conqueror of the world, and will always obey your orders. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said. Until this time, Britain was just a remote island country for the great monarch of the Great Empire. But about a hundred years later, the British became rulers of the Indian subcontinent. The change in the situation was due to the rapid development of Europe. In the late eighteenth century, there was a revolutionary leap in the economic and political sectors of Europe. That's what the Industrial Revolution and the Democracy Revolution is. These two revolutions were not due to the sudden fall of the sky one day, but to the steady growth of markets that have been carried on since the end of the Middle Ages. Koreans have clearly experienced the power of the market through the gap in North Korea, which has rejected the country and the market for the market. South Korea has been in the ashes of the Six-25 War, and in decades has risen to 11th-years-old economy, while North Korea still remains in the poorest state. Western Europe, which followed the late Middle Ages and led to the market economy, had developed a world-shattering development that did not wake up in the Orient. The Western supremacy that followed modern times has created the bias that Westerners are superior to other races.
