Are the islamic conquests the reason we have a European civilization as opposed to a Mediterranean civilization?

>>17790279 (OP)
Yes, probably.

Pre-Arab/Islamic conquests Southern Europe was more culturally similar to North Africa, Anatolia and the levant than Northern Europe/Easter Europe, and the same was true the other way, the levant and anatolia had more in common with Greece/Italy culturally than they did with the Persians or Arabs.

What changed was the Arab/Islamic conquests, they made it so that there was a clear divide between Southern Europe and Northern Africa/West Asia, that being Arabization and Islam.

If anything it the mediterannean would've been more culturally homogenous because of the advancements in navigation/ships.

Imagine the beauty and artistry of the european with the capacity to count to ten of the arabs

During antiquity they thought asians were smart and germans were dumb. Maybe the conquests were the starting point but you also have to consider what happened between those thousands of years that allowed norther europe to get its act together while the rest of the world did nothing.

Venetians and genoans plotted the overthrow of the Byzantine empire which culminated in a massive power vacuum around the Mediterranean and the collapse of Europe into the dark ages leading to the age of discovery as western Europeans went out in search of better trade routes
