This statement isn’t saying other nations didn’t have organized violence, but just that Europe was better at it. If you look at technology it’s not necessarily accurate to say Europe had better tech, they just spent more of their technological development on warfare and weapons

I mean a lot has to do with the introduction of modern capitalism in Europe Property rights laid the groundwork for Britains Industrial Revolution and to the extent New world colonization was instrumental in European dominance it was made possible in large part by joint stock corporations

By the time Britain was colonizing Africa and China they were already industrialized. I don’t think anyone thinks there was technological parity between Wuripe and the rest of the world in the 19th and 20th century.

Not necessarily military. Improved metallurgy may make you better guns, swords and cannons but it also allows you to make better tools for other things. Improvements in sailing helps your warships but also your merchant fleet. The vast majority of technology can help your military in one way or another.
