Whenever i read the history, the history of industrial revolution and the European nations dominating the whole world i always think how the world would be if the nation which had dominated the world during 19th century where not European but Asian. Then the lingua franca (international language) might be CHINESE OR URDU
DO anybody else have more to say about this......

in the past century the asian countries were more wealthy with a lot of wealth and a good population and the living standard of people were very high. so the european nations started investing in asia. slowly they cheated the rulers with money and took the land from starting to rule us. they took all our wealth and developed. today they are not allowing us to develop by every possible chance.....

Especially because of technology, the idea of a dominant culture is outdated. We must unite or we'll destroy on another. Perhaps we need a new lingua franca ithout so many negatives?
