Re: Did Britain Create The Modern World?

That's why I said not Britain alone. I should have said: "France had it's hand in igniting the process toward Modernity as well".

Sorry.
Ah, now I see.

And you're right, France certainly had a hand in developing the modern world.

It seems to me that no nation could be excluded from a list of nations that 'created' the modern world. The British might have more influence on the shape of our modern world than, say, Bhutan, but even that small country has played some role.
