And yet you forget it was the Greeks who made the first steam engine [IIRR].

It is but the way things are going, it may not be for long.
It's amusing, I haven't studied history since I was in school and even then my final subjects at school didn't involve history for the final year or two.
I'm remembering all this off the top of my head from back 2002-2003.

As in it will be gone? Its geographically located IN Europe. Are they going to move it? IDGI...

Anyways I am just saying that regions like China had a chance to become dominant. They had just as many resources as the West did. It's just that they settled on Peace, while in Europe hard, bloody competition rose the region to become the dominant culture.

They're talking of ousting it from the union.
Basicly it's a massive money sinkhole and given it's current situation, the rest of Europe is potentially talking of getting Greece to either sell of a few islands [what for i'll never know] or possibly boot it out of the union.

As for the west being the dominant culture.
Why is it most of my electronics says made in Taiwan or made in china?

Because Westerners invented them and now need cheap labor to build it.

I believe it was your country in particular that started that cheap labor movement too.

Also I was saddened that you didn't like my Greece joke :'(
