[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I overthinking this phrase?[/quote] As an Asian studies major it seems to mean anything Not Asian (Russia, China, Japan, India - covered by british history though), S/SE Asian countries. Typically does not cover native americans (of which there were relatively a fraction as elsewhere) or the tribal wars of Africa. I also took the usual core lib arts Great Religions class - Islam, Judaism, Christianity. Anyhow Western Civ is the Mid East/Europe branching out and leading most advancements since it did not stay insular like most places did (outside of Xian trying to trade with Persia to get horses bigger than donkeys finally). It covers 1000s of years and many eras - biblical times, Mesopotamia, Turks, Romans, Crusades, Industrial Era, Americas trade, 20th century . It's hilarious it is covered in one course in 9th or 10th grade. [/quote]
