Is European history the same as World history?

Answer:
No, European History focuses how events effected only Europe. However, it mentions other countries and what the Europeans did to them. For instance, John Winthrop was English and sailed to America to find the Massachusetts Bay Colony. As you can see it intersects with American history, but in European History it would focus more on what was happening in England to make people settle in America. In addition, European history overlaps with African history because Europeans tried to gain parts of Africa for themselves in the 1880s. World History would focus on how events effected the entire world. For instance, World War II and how it effects every nation. In European History, it would be how World War II effected Europe. In addition, World History would focus more on when and how Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity were established as religions. In European History, you would go more into the Reformation and its' impact on Europe.
