abbreviated pronunciation in Japanese of "animation", pronounced [anime] ( listen) in Japanese, but typically Anime-en-US-pronunciation.ogg /?æn??me?/ (help·info) or /?æn??m?/ in English
It says its just a japanese pronunciation of the word animation. Read it better next time. Oh also wiki isn't the best source as it can be edited by anyone at anytime. Also what they are talking about is japan history not world history about animation.
Don't butcher a wikipedia quote to prove your point

Gosh again with this, i thought this was over
QUOTEIn Japan, the term anime does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style; instead, it serves as a blanket term to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.[17][18] English-language dictionaries define anime as "a Japanese style of motion-picture animation" or as "a style of animation developed in Japan".[19] Non-Japanese works that borrow stylization from anime are commonly referred to as "anime-influenced animation" but it is not unusual for a viewer who does not know the country of origin of such material to refer to it as simply "anime". Some works result from co-productions with non-Japanese companies, such as most of the traditionally animated Rankin/Bass works, the Cartoon Network and Production I.G series IGPX or ?ban Star-Racers; different viewers may or may not consider these anime.
In the UK, many video shops will classify all adult-oriented animated videos in the "Anime" section for convenience, regardless of whether they show any stylistic similarities to Japanese animation. No evidence suggests that this has led to any change in the use of the word.[citation needed]
