Why did the native americans lose

Name: Anonymous 2009-08-24 16:14

I want an answer to this question beyond the euro centric view that "they lost cause they were backwards"

If anything pisses me off historically, it's that. It's not a concrete answer and summarizes it all up in a simple sentence, but there's more to the tale.

To say that the natives were backwards is bullshit. For one, they had canoes, that could maneuver the waters while the Europeans were stuck with shit boats that didn't move. Just because it isn't made out of iron doesn't mean it's not better. If anything, the natives were backwards when it came to weaponry, not everything else.

Darwin sez;strongest kicks the most ass and wins. Otherwise, the Natives developed their own societies as well. But why wasn't their weaponry as advanced? Why did they lose?

I have a theory thats founded in very little knowledge that says:Europeans were more advanced militarily because of constant feuding on their small piece of land for living space and resources

I might be wrong though
