why were the European the one to conquer most of our planet?

The biggest reason why European had so much power is because of their Geographic luck. Geographic luck means European were lucky to exist in the land of Europe. Because Europe had such great raw resources and the position on the planet, where It’s close to the eastern part of globe but also the western, that’s why they know so many information around the world. European’s geographic luck can be separate into 3 smaller parts, and they are steel, animals and Guns.

Steel was one of the reason How European had so much power, Steel provides a lot of things relates to technology, such as vehicles, buildings, guns, and other weapons/ technological crafts. That made other countries couldn’t invade Europe easily, because Europe had so much technological technologies from steel that the enemies couldn’t break through. Steel also can make into infantry weapons/ tools, such as swords, guns, horse shoes, and armors. That made European good at both defense and offense, which is a really big advantage for conquering other nations and countries.

Steel can also be make into guns. Guns were the most advanced weapon during that age, and european were the only ones had that technology, because they did a lot of sailing to explore the world, and eventually explored gun powder from China. And when the Europeans are fighting with their guns, especially with the countries that have low technology, they will think Europeans are god because they never seen anything like guns before. Therefore it will probably lead to that they giving up because most of the poor/low technology country’s people are superstitious, and they will probably pass this information to other nearby country to just surrender when Europeans come. Also during that age, not even one kind of weapon could defend the power of guns, because the weapons are only swords and shields.

The third advantage for European be the world power is because of their germ. When they travel to another country to have war, the germs and virus from Europe will spread through that country, but the European doesn’t get effected because they’re already used to it, and grew an immune system generations ago. So Germs are just like poisons, to make your opponent weaker during the war. And plus European don’t really get infected by other country’s germs, because European were almost always the first one to attack, and they also have high technology to produce cures from other country’s germs.

The three facts guns, germs and steel are the major reasons discovered by Dr. Jared Diamond of how European had such great power around the world. The European had these three advantages were because they are geographically lucky, because Europe was the perfect place for trading and sailing. And they’re also located between the eat and west globe made there the best spot for exploring western and eastern culture.
