Article 2 ; As many of you may have noticed, Western Europe has been going good, it didn’t start that way.

In the past, Europeans weren’t strong, organized, or as advanced as the Islamic and empires. For one, they originated from in advanced barbaric tribes. Also, they mostly consisted of regional monarchies, which often warred with each other, making it nearly impossible for Western Europeans countries to organize, and develop themselves accordingly. But then… things changed. Many of the previous, & more powerful countries started to isolate themselves from the rest of the world, Giving Europe a great advantage. The crusades opened up a whole new world of technology ideas. As Europe started to trade, it experienced new lands and jobs as merchants.

The scientific Revolution contributed greatly to the Advancement, and expansion of European Influence. The decline of other major powerful empires gave an advantage to Europe, as far as exploration is concerned. In the late 15th century, Europe began to sail  the four oceans. Europeans had a great influence on the development of modern North and South American countries. In  fact, It was fairly easy for them to conquer and establish colonies in south America because in the beginning, the Aztecs thought the European conquistadors as gods, offering them gifts and sacrifices, so when the Aztecs realized that they were a threat, it was too late for them to do anything about it.
