Everyone knows how Europe colonized the world, and China developed gunpowder, blah blah blah. But why didn't the natives of anywhere else develop like this?

cause native americans/australians/africans kept to their own villages/culture/weapons and never wanted to start colonizing and creating huge empires and stuff

Lol, flame bait much? Anyway, they did develop, just in different ways. The Natives of America were proficient in many things that the Europeans were not, as the Europeans were proficient at many things the Natives were not. As they were in different areas, they simply developed differently.

im pretty sure the people with swords, armor, guns, military tactics, countrys, fancy clothes, good food, castles, and villages are more developed then a tribe in the middle of nowhere

Well, it was also harder to develop in some places, but they did develop in different ways. I haven't really studied natives, but they were much better at a ton of stuff than Europeans when the Europeans game to colonize them.

What are you talking about? Have you never heard of the Incan, Mayan and Aztec empires, or the genocidal Bantu expansions? There were many empires in Africa and the Americas and plenty of wars too not some little peaceful villages in harmony with nature or whatever.

Because they were better at not weapons, they were better at resources and stuff.

Simply put? Culture. Indians just wanted to hunt, live with the land, ect ect. Not claim ownership of the land. It simply wasn't in their nature.

(Other than territorial hunting ground type deals, which is totally cool)

I'm not sure about Australia but Africa and America did develop. Try learning about the history of those places. Africans discovered the use of iron weapons and tools first before anyone else in the world. And Native Americans created corn, which was the first genetically engineered crop.

So you never heard of the Aztec and Incan empires in America. Or the Songhai and Ethiopian empires in Africa.

I take back what I said.

The Native Americans were just as advanced as the Europeans, just as developed, they just developed in a different manner then Europe, and arguably a better manner.
Well, I guess it also depends if my "development" you mean technology, not the society as a whole.

>Myans

They developed trig,
Predicted eclipses,
Had major scientific and mathematical advances

The only reason they didn't colonize the world is because they weren't azzhoals

native americans didnt have the idea to explore and see if tehre are other humans in the world. europeans were curious and had discovered more natural ressouces to help them in their expeditions, like coal.

They stayed nomadic while europeans settled.

when they did settle they were still very deeply narrowminded.

Situations didn't demand they developed. They lived comfortably.
