Einstein did not show that. The principal you are referring to is, ironically, Galilean relativity, and attributable to Galileo. Einstein's contribution was combining the principle of relativity with a constant speed of light.
Additionally, under both systems, relativity only applies to intertial reference frames. Rotating reference frames are detectable.
You can detect Earth's rotation without any external observations using a pendulum. Although such an experiment would not be done until Léon Foucault about 2 centuries after Galileo.
