When was the term 'Western Civilization' first used? Also did we talk about the 'West vs the East' before the Cold War? What would have the ancient Greeks thought of themselves?

West and East is a creation that dates back to the time of the ancient Greeks yes. The ancient Greeks believed in their inherent supremacy over everyone else around them. The Romans, for instance, believed that Italy was prime breeding ground for strong people and that the Germans and Celts to the north and the more eastern, servile and weak people to their east and south. Greeks and Romans saw themselves as the embodiment of the west, between extremes; and therefore perfect.

Well, the Roman perception of the world changed over time. One thing is sure: they believed that they were destined to rule the world. The Roman perception of the Gauls was not a negative one. J. Caesar was impressed with them and Augustus suggested they would become the most loyal citizen of Rome. The Romans were also impressed with the Egyptians.
