Question

Provide conclusion for civilization

Answer 1

Thus, what occurred during the four centuries of European conquest in the Americas merely extended the continuum of history into a new arena. The successes of these new arrivals and their descendants, consistent with the historical tendencies in human behavior, came at the expense of people whose kinship-based tribal system still operated on communitarian, if exclusive, principles. Only the tribes of the southern hemisphere had become fully settled and had entered into their own era of empire-building. Unfortunately for their survival, the European people had achieved both technological and organizational superiority as these characteristics applied to the art of warfare. The tribes of the southern hemisphere had numbers in their favor but had no time to adopt European weaponry or strategy. In North America, the tribes gained considerable access to modern weapons and were more flexible in their strategies. The two most important advantages the European-Americans possessed in the north was the endless stream of migration that more than replaced the population lost during warfare, and a production system centered in large and relatively secure population centers.
