fedditI haven't read the books other people are suggesting, but the arguments I have heard mostly center around materials science. Rome did not have access to high enough quality metals and was unable to machine parts to the standards required for steam engines. Britain sits on top of large coal and iron deposits, exactly what an early society needs to produce high quality steel. Producing steel in the Americas before European contact was not possible due to the large distances between coal and iron deposits combined with the lack of waterways or transport animals to move the required quantities of ore.
This is just how I remember it, there are probably a few issues with it, but the main point is that Britain and Europe to a lesser extent got very lucky with geography.
Being a new account on its own doesn't signify wrecking, but if someone starts baiting arguments and their account is new it looks pretty suspicious.

I have to ask, why are you choosing CivE?
What qualifies as modern for you?
