In 1500 there was no "lead" and in 1600 the Portuguese brought the most current Western military technology to Japan and China - The "modern" sailing ship, flintlock musket and large cannon. But neither the Japanese nor the Chinese were interested in developing hem further. The Shogun in fact, monopolized all the gunsmiths in order to preserve the rule of the sword wielding samurai. The Chinese were uninterested in developing the musket any further, because why? they already constituted a quarter of the world's population. <br /><br />BTW, are the Turks "Europeans"? Because as late as 1648 they were besieging Vienna. And the Arab states along the coast of North Africa were engaged in attacks on European shipping and enslaving Christians until well into the late 18th century. All with the same weapons. rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-65642712768915880792015-10-14T18:41:55.847-04:002015-10-14T18:41:55.847-04:00An interesting analysis - but confusing. Australia...An interesting analysis - but confusing. Australia, Africa, and the America's were easily conquered because of the inhabitants were technologically backward. To put it down to taxes and war is silly. The American Indians and the Aztecs, not to mention to Zulus were warrior tribes. As for China, Europe never really conquered them, Korea or Japan. India was taken over because it was politically divided, Indonesia was the same. <br /><br />BTW, to talk about "Europe" in this context is equally confusing - were really talking about France, Spain, Portugal, England, and to much lesser extent Holland. Italy, Germany and the rest of Europe were late in obtaining overseas colonies or had none at all. Did England spent all its time/money on war? How did the constant wars with Spain help Holland? When did the King of Portugal fight all his wars? I must have missed that. And in the 1400's the primary opponent of Spaniards were the Muslims. rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.com
