Question

Help please! What factors best explained the ability of Europeans to prevail over Native Americans in their encounters in the 16th and 17th century?

Answer 1

Well for starters. . . the Europeans had guns. It would be pretty hard to defend yourself with a stick if the person you were fighting had a gun. Second. . . the Europeans had diseases that the Natives had never com in contact with before so their immune systems couldn't handle it.
