Eurocentric historiography

Eurocentric historiography is an approach to history that centers European experiences, perspectives, and achievements, often portraying them as the most important or influential. This viewpoint can marginalize or overlook the contributions and histories of non-European cultures and societies. As a result, it may present a skewed understanding of global history, emphasizing events like European colonization and industrialization while underrepresenting the complexities and richness of other regions. This approach has been increasingly challenged to promote a more inclusive and balanced view that recognizes the interconnectedness of all cultures in shaping history.
