Guns, Germs, and Steel

1) The Europeans had access to many more advanced resources than the Incas and their weapons were far more advanced than the Incas. This is why the Spanish had advanced steel swords and weapons and the Incas only had the inferior bronze weapons.

2) The Europeans weren’t there to conquer any land, they were just there to convert natives, but the Incas showed that they were violent and dangerous and resisted the priest. Then the Europeans slaughtered all of the Incas because they weren’t peaceful.

3) The spread of guns and steel over the past 100 years has enabled smaller countries to become as powerful as bigger countries and the smaller countries can be threats to those bigger countries now.

4) Yes, because whenever a new country is influenced by a far superior one, some technology from the superior country is given to the inferior country and the inferior country develops

5) The Europeans had the most superior weapons and had the deadlier diseases that they were immune to some what. The diseases would kill the smaller civilizations and help the Europeans conquer other parts of the world.
