"The History Of Western Civilisation" is the name of a single by TISM. It was their second off Hot Dogma (1990).

Though the title of the song indicates a rather broad topic for a three minute song to encapsulate, the focus of the song is actually on the Western Suburbs of TISM's home town of Melbourne and the differences between those suburbs and the Eastern. The song lists various offensive things a man can do, such as building an abattoir on Anzac Cove, as long as the man does not come from the Western Suburbs. If he does, he "gets what [he] deserves".

According to the liner notes for the album, the song features a cameo blues harp appearance, performed by oft silent TISM member, Jon St. Peenis.
