#1: Europe has a different climate than Africa. The African climate is far more suitable for a nomadic way of life, while the European climate is more suitable for a static way of farming. The European situation therefore makes the forming of large villages, towns and cities more likely, and cities contribute a lot to an advancing civilization.
#2: European culture is largely based on large scale warfare and expansionism. This makes larger nations much more likely to develop, and larger nations tend to display a faster development than small communities. Also, it adds a lot to technological advancement, which also brings along many other benefits.
#3: European culture is largely based on Roman culture, which was largely based on Greek culture, etc. A tradition of technology, politics and warfare greatly aids the development of nations.

Great Post.... Quite true.
.....As to Antonio. I lived in Morningside in Jo'burg for four years, and I have to tell you, the crime rate in South Africa since Mandela first took over has gone crazy.....the police force is hopelessly out classed and out gunned, car-jacking is up to like 87%., home invasion robberies are ridiculously high....it makes Detroit and and South-central look like Disneyland.
