Unit 2: Germs, Guns, and Steel (Reflect)


Well, I think that the "geographic luck" was something unfair because, every country get an unequal amount of natural resources, also each country get a different kinds of animals and plants, and some plants didn't grow to give food to people, because each country get a different species of animals, some of the countries were able to domesticate them and use them for the hard labor, and in other places people didn't domesticated animals because they were big and wild such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, etc... due to that inequality some countries developed new technology faster than others, for example, Europe, this continent developed faster than any other country of the world, because they, domesticated animals for a long, long time, so the farmers there have more time to do something else, but when they found the steel, they begun to conquer the world, in America, Europeans conquered the place so fast because of steel, and disease, disease was the main key to conquer the Americas, because the native Americans, didn'd had any deffence against germs, they got sick, and almost all the population died due to germs.
