*glances at Africa and bursts out laughing*

Imperialism was born in cold lovely climates that people wanted to leave so born people were disadvantaged from day 1 unfortunately, I am sure travel would develop faster in those places that are less hospitable to agriculture and poo poo any way you cut it(there is kind of a sweet spot not to over-simplify) but if someone else had won an old-timey war maybe everyone hates Indians more instead. Say maybe if Britain won the Rev. War? Not that the world would be more just. Really it was an offhand joke.

i guess they eventually soaked up enough knowledge developed elsehwere in colonializing but the mayans for example would've been really good at imperialism if they didn't happen to live in such a relatively idyllic place they just did math for fun probably would've made great spergy brogrammers

Advanced mathematics have tons of v.useful applications they just lived somewhere warm so they didn't travel much and their warfare didn't develop much due to relatively few contacts with other cultures. kinky fetishes aside they deffo did useful stuff. i mean from the shoving sticks in their pee holes thing u'd hink theyd get along well wGermany which is ALso full of math greats/engineers

the americas never really stood a chance since they had no horses and they put too many ranks into astronomy instead of any good diseases. The Aztecs in particular were basically just lord humongous' army 200 years after all the oil is gone and there is nobody left who can remember what wheels are for.

True. forgot about that. All the useful domesticated animals and livestock all come from a small region of the earth that was also p.important.

wat metric are we using because pretty much every conquering nation has had horses and in terms of whites vs non whites the non whites probably had more empires whitey just got lucky because things got a bit more stable when they were in control (coincidence?)

do you want to cite anything or are you just going to keep claiming the Incas, Olmecs, and Aztecs were better at farming than modern day people are? because that is some absurdity right there.

and the invention of the metal plow pulled by beasts of burden was a loving gamechanger. it's like literally the most important agricultural development in history
