Well, I think that the subject on Germs, Guns, and Steel, was one of the most important subjects in this semester, because I learned, why all the countries have different sources that other countries don't have, I also learned why the people from Europe conquered almost the whole world because they had better technology that the native Americans, and Indians, and people form Africa didn't had at that time, It was Steel, through steel Europeans designed and create, swords which they use to conquer the Americas, because the People from America spend their time, on raising animals and making a better place to grow food, steel was something out of this world for them, so they didn't know how to defend their selves.
But the most important factor that helped the Europeans to conquer the Americas and other parts of the world, was the geography that each country had an unequal distribution of resources, (so the Europeans had Steel as a natural resource), and because it was a big difference between Africa and America, Americans domesticated animals to do the hard job,and Africans did all the hard job with their own hands, this led the Europeans made America more advanced than Africa.
Geography was a big factor because, like around the earth there is a big difference in temperatures due to the altitude of the land, many countries didn't develop because of that, meaning that that's why it was a big difference in Africa and America, because in America people grow tons of food, and in some places in Africa people didn't grow much amount of food, so the difference in geography was the factor that many countries didn't developed equally.
Overall, you get the idea. Just to clarify, it's not that Europeans had steel as a natural resource, but that the natural resources they did have (such as plants and animals) were so good that the Europeans had freedom and time to learn to get good at doing other things, like making steel.
