    Because the American Indians were very quiet and short-sighted, Europe entered the Age of Discovery in the 15th century and absorbed a lot of things on a global scale.

    A simple truth is that a civilization that develops in isolation is a pool of stagnant water.

    After Europe entered the Age of Global Exploration in the 15th century, it became the only civilization in the world that was in direct contact with all the civilizations in the world.

    The Mayan civilization has long been destroyed by the Aztecs in Central America, and it has its own serious shortcomings, although it is an agrarian civilization, due to the tropical climate and soil problems, it needs to be constantly moved, and caused ecological damage, so that the civilization lacks stability and sustainability. The later Aztecs did not say that the primitive tribal structure was rotten and extremely fragmented internally. They didn't even have a single horse with the basic means of transportation in antiquity.

    Imagine what happens to disunited tribes when they meet colonists with guns. In fact, the Americas were in the hands of Portugal and Spain before the West entered the Industrial Revolution.

    The reasons why the Indians did not enter the development of civilization are discussed as follows:

    The American continent was relatively closed during the time of the Indians, and the Indians lacked communication with other civilizations, and after they set foot on the American continent, they only hunted simply, resulting in not much domesticable livestock on the continent, and they could not enter the agricultural era after that, and they could only eat and dress most of the time.

    1.Lack of domesticated flora and fauna.

    It is believed that the Indians migrated from Asians, mainly through the Bering Strait to the American continent, and later settled here, although they did not develop the same advanced civilization as in Asia and Europe.

    It may be that there is a lack of animals and plants that can be domesticated and cultivated on a large scale, and because of the sparse land and sparse population, the Indians began to collect and live after arriving on the American continent.

    The animals of the American continent did not know that humans were very powerful killers, and basically did not have too much vigilance, so that the Shed Indians only needed hunting and gathering to live well, so they later hunted aggressively.

    But this also made the local animals less and less domesticated, and eventually the Indians basically had no leisure time to do other things, so they stagnated in the gathering era and could not enter the agricultural civilization.

    2.There is a lack of communication among civilizations.

    Although the Indians are yellow-limbed people, the reason why they have not formed an advanced society may also be the lack of communication and learning with civilizations in other regions, and it is important to know that cultural exchange and learning are very important for the development of civilization.

    The American continent appeared on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, almost isolated from the outside world, lacking a person to learn and communicate with, civilization developed slowly, and eventually the Indians fell behind.

    The reason why I say this is because some of the pictures left by the Indians are very similar to ancient Chinese writing, and their appearance is particularly similar to that of Asians, and in the records of the overseas Eastern Longitude, the ancients believed a long time ago that there was a continent in the far east, and there is also a saying that after the defeat of the merchants, they moved to the American continent and formed the current Indians, but this statement is just a hypothesis, and there is no clear evidence.

    The Indians were poor learners, poor in anticipating the future, and too short of time to be killed, before they could think of the most effective solution.

    This requires a nation to unite and form a strong team, have strong execution and learning ability, be able to predict the fundamental purpose of the opponent in the shortest possible time, and then quickly copy the opponent's ability in all aspects, and surpass the opponent, closely unite, and give full play to the maximum strength of the members of the team in the most effective way, and defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time, only in this way can we not be killed. To be good to those who want to kill themselves is to kill themselves in disguise, in fact, this is how the Indians kill themselves in disguise, who let them give roast chicken to the invaders to eat, and are deceived by a few sweet promises, positioning the invaders as friends, it is really stupid.

    If most of the Chinese did not resist when the Japanese invaded China, and most of them became puppet traitors and regarded the invaders as friends, then the fate would be the same as that of the Indians. The reason why the Chinese did not fall into the same fate as the Indians is because there are still many very wise people among the Chinese, and most of them are wise, so they have not become slaves of the country.

    Knowing the enemy and not being defeated in a hundred battles, we must not only strive to develop ourselves, but also know what foreign countries are doing and what we are doing, otherwise a new type of foreign country will send our hard work back to before liberation. If the Indians knew that the invaders were going to kill them, they would not have been killed, but had killed the landed invaders first, but unfortunately they did not have the ability to predict (or maybe they did not have enough execution), and they only looked at the present and did not predict the future development trend of the opponent, then they would definitely suffer.

    If you don't work hard, if you don't work hard, if you don't unite and don't be strong, you will perish, and you will never be able to change the nature of animals, people are advanced animals, people are animals, and the animal world is the law of the jungle, which is very cruel, but this is the case, and we have to accept it.

    1. The economy of the Indians is too backward and they do not have the capital to fight with the invaders.

    2. The social system of the Indians was too rigid, everything depended on the king, and once the king was killed, the kingdom collapsed immediately, and no one could organize a strong resistance.

    3. Their religious prophecies make them accept the fate of subjugation and annihilation.

    They are too stupid, the enemy has entered their own land and still treats people as friends, but the most important point is that they themselves do not know to learn the advanced science and technology of the European powers, do not contact with the outside world, from the moment the United States was established, they are doomed to turn over, so the United States is much more cruel than Japan, Japan occupies China and leaves a puppet Chinese to lead the colony, the United States is good, directly establish a country on their land.

    Subjective causes: Diseases such as smallpox, brought by European immigrants and African slaves, reduced the number of Indians by at least 80 per cent.

    Objective reasons: the degree of development of civilization is too low. Although the Indians had a glorious civilization such as the Aztecs and the Incas, that was limited to art and culture.

    It is difficult to compliment the equally important aspects of civilization, such as politics and military. If the Indians had understood what politics was, what the will of the nation was, and how to use the contradictions between Britain and France to break through one by one, then the Americas might have a different picture.

    Multi-tribal, not united. This is in opposition to one of the main reasons for the success of American independence. The premise of American independence was the formation of the American nation, while the Indians were multitudes of tribes and fought each other, and did not form a unified and powerful nation.

    In fact, China's backwardness is caused by the backward rule of the Qing Dynasty, there are still a lot of smart people among the people, China's GDP has been very high, especially China has a lot of advanced ideas that foreign countries do not have, know how to use strength, four or two thousand pounds, modern China's first and many science and technology are the use of Shiyi long skills to control the strategy until the overtaking, the technological gap continues to narrow. The Indians, on the other hand, did not know how to forbear, shortened the technological gap, and directly hit the egg against the stone, and finally the egg broke to the ground.

    The hallmark of human development is the free of hands, the manufacture of tools, stone tools, iron tools, coal, electricity, oil, must come step by step.

    The Americas did not have as much surface copper and iron ore as East Asia and Europe, which prevented the indigenous peoples from entering the Iron Age. Civilization cannot be created without tools, and nations cannot be built without civilization. The Indians couldn't even pass through the rainforest, and the tribes didn't know each other's existence.

    We can't blame the aborigines for their slow development, we just blame God for not opening their eyes and choosing a bad map at the beginning.

    A powerful empire was built, but it was conquered by the whites, on the one hand, by force, on the other hand, by the diseases that the whites brought with them, because they were not isolated from other continents for a long time, the Indians were not immune to many European diseases, and died in large numbers. Europeans also died in large numbers due to diseases in the Americas, but they continued to migrate for hundreds of years, and finally conquered the Indians in the Americas completely.
