Resolved: The nations of Europe are slipping into insignificance in the world society

In the time from 1500-1900, Europe was the "500 pound gorilla" in world society. With conquests and colonies around the world, Spain Italy, France Great Britain, Portugal, Germany and the Netherlands successfully enveloped and decimated lesser societies. After World War I, the continent began to slip in power, culminating with the end of World War II, when they were battered and never recovered their past glory.

Will Europe fall to the level of South America or equatorial Africa in the future?

Your serve, please.
