What enabled europeans to conquer native North Americans?

Answer 1

One main reason that Native Americans were being so rapidly conquered was that the they had not built up any immunities to the diseases that the European settlers had brought with them. These diseases spread wildly and killed many native populations very quickly. Another factor was that most Native American tribes did not believe that land could be owned privately, as in their cultures they had always shared the land as a community resource.

Answer 2

The Europeans had muskets, steel weaponry, horses, diseases, and a greater tactical history. The Native Americans were more or less disunited and were unable to put up serious resistance until they acquired horses, muskets, and greater tactical knowledge (which they did in the 1800s).

Answer 3

Some people would say that this was down to superior technology (guns), however the truth is that it was probably the diseases that the Europeans brought with them from Europe that destroyed the native Americans.
