Actually...
Anyway read this :

One of the most interesting and amazing places that ancient people chose as the center of the world; It was the land of Sistan or Nimrooz(a city in Iran, not the Afghanistani providece). Today's scientific knowledge has also proved to us that Nimrooz is really located in the middle of the Eastern Hemisphere, and its distance from the Kuril Islands in the Pacific Ocean (the last inhabited area in the East) is 90 degrees, and its distance from the West to the Azores Islands. It is also 90 degrees in the Atlantic Ocean (the last inhabited western region). In other words, when the sun reaches the middle of the sky in Sistan; In the east of the world, the sun is setting and in the west of the world, it is rising. In other words, when the whole world is in daylight; In Sistan, it is noon or "Nimrooz"

So the fact that the city of Nimrooz is in the center of the world has been scientifically proven. The center of the world in terms of political maps is Greenwich and in terms of science, the city of Nimrooz is in the east of Iran.

Greenwich is also where the prime meridian is located, its used to separate time zones that are ahead of behind GMT which is British time.

If you’re in the center of the UK, it means you’re truly in the center of the world

[TinotendaHunda-ibnu]

To me it looks like Africa is in the center

[GojiMasterZ]

USA: I'm the most powerful
China: I'm the most productive
UK: I'm the centre of the world
USA & China: WAIT WHA-

Pretty sure it's because the 0° latitude lays in Greenwich London

I mean it just makes Sense that the pacific ocean is the border of the world map, since its HUGE but there is really not a lot going on.

[GamerLord]

Also the Pacific Ocean is a perfect point to have the border because its in a ocean nobody whants there country to splits into 2 sides of a map

Most ships at the time used maps with Greenwich as prime meridian so the reason it was chosen is convenience, not Britain being strongest. Also, they met in Washington, not New York. 5 minutes on Google.

Greenwich, one of my favourite museums in London..

That's because New Zealands position is far from mainland Australia and that New Zealand only has 8 million people.

[Huky]

Greenwich is a borough in London, England, on the banks of the River Thames.

[Powergar]

Id think this cause europe is the reason why most countries in the world exist

[marcusbrown]

I thought it was because this is the best way to show the world map
Maximizing land shown

[adam_p]

British sailors also used the Harrison sea watch which was the first use of both longitude and latitude.
I think this advantage over other nations is why the British navy was so successful and ultimately why they were able to colonise so many islands and countries.

Also, the world's landmasses are on one side of the planet, and on the other side is a big ocean. It makes sense to not have that giant gap in the middle of your map.

[letsgosouls]

It makes sense to have the break of the map where the pacific is or it would cut off land if it was placed anywhere else, it’s useful to see a map with all the lands intact

[CaptainEarls]

What I do notice though, is that a Euro-Africa centred map, removes the necessity of adding the entire Pacific Ocean. On a globe it fills the entire "side".

[TheDavo]

I didn’t know this was a thing. Growing up in Australia most world maps I have seen are centred on Asia/Australia, with Europe and Africa on the far left.
