How are we to make sense of the extraordinary evolution in world history from 1400 to the present?

In 1400 China dominated the Eastern part of Afro-Eurasian world. By 1500 European states began their rise. This relatively small continent continued to gain economic, political, and cultural power over the rest of the world until the World Wars of the first half of the 20^th. Between 1945 and the 1990s a Cold War consumed the world as American capitalism and Soviet communism contested for power around the world. Since, the start of the twenty-first century, however, we are seeing China starting to reassert its earlier primacy in the wake of the relative decline of the USA and Europe. Is there, thus, a more fully global civilization emerging? What role will India and Africa play across the twenty-first century?
