Reflection on Yali's Question

Why do you think that White Europeans came to control a large share of the modern world, while those inhabiting the Americas, Africa, and Asia became subjects of Colonization?

I think that Europe was more technologically advanced and they saw themselves superior to others. Due to their belief that they were better than everyone else, they became greedy and thats what justified their cruel behavior in their eyes. They eventually lost sight to their connection with the earth, so they went around doing the same to everyone else. If they had misery they wanted to bring everyone else down to their level so they weren't alone. Misery likes company. They also had navigation, which allowed them to spread out and colonize other places. They had the tools and the skills to build sea vessels, and these vessels were unique because they allowed crew members to basically live at sea for long periods of time while discovering new lands. Europe was tightly populated, which caused disease and lack of resources and frequent warfare. Some people wanted to get away from this, so they left and brought that competitive spirit of survival with them. So when they encountered these indigenous people, who just share whatever they have, and help whoever needs it, the Europeans took advantage of this, and kept wanting more.
