Why did the native americans lose

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?

By "military" I meant gunpowder and steel

I mean, when you spend your time fighting all the time, you're bound to advance quite a bit in arms and weapons. Likewise, if I became a chef for the rest of my life, I'm bound to get good at that as well.

I don't know much about colonization  and the new world, but there had to have been steel, iron and such in the Americas. Why they didn't create weapons though, I would think because there weren't enough wars to advance technology in that department far enough cause it wasn't necessary. They obviously had technology to suit their surroundings and to by definition, make life easier and more convinient.

again, I know little about the new world. I'm just drawing up conclusions based on geography and just simple conclusions.

fuck, we/I may be looking at it all wrong. Why does everything have to be to kill like those BARBARIANS FROM YUROP.
