Tobacco and Coffee were both discovered in the new world. Civilization is much older than either of these discoveries by Europeans for Europeans. It was used by Indigenous Americans up to 1000 BC. But no one else knew about it.
- jalayir 10y agoCoffee is from Ethiopia. Maybe you're thinking of chocolate.
- devoply 10y agoNo you are right. But again coffee wasn't discovered by Europeans until around that same time mid to late 1500s. Civilization is much older than that.
- lostlogin 10y agoIt's an interest story/legend as to how coffee got introduced to Europe, left behind by the retreating Ottoman army at Vienna. Resulted, apparently, in the invention of the croissant too. The ends don't justify the means, but that's a lot more productive that many recent conflicts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III_Sobieski https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III_Sobieski https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viennese_coffee_house https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viennese_coffee_house
