Huge rift in technology and natives having very little to NO access to it at all. Also the tactics an organized force users WILL NOT work with a ragtag group of rebels with much less resources and access to weapons and training. That's why guerilla warfare is a thing.

Tribe is a shitty term because its used to describe ethnic groups in Africa from the very small to the very large with nothing to distinguish the two or in many cases arbitrary distinctions because it's so vague. Are the Oromo, the Irish or Japanese a tribe? In Africa there were many groups that were large or small that rebelled and engaged in conflict in massive fights or wars if you read up on it. Africa also has a really a low population and population density compared to Asia so death counts are pretty drastic in difference.

Also colonial powers completely owned all trade routes inside and outside the colony and often did whatever they can to completely fuck up and ruin any local trade networks in the colony.

The BEIC was well trained and equipped and helped by a shitload of ghazis.

Baffles me too. The maoris fully adopted muskets in under two decades, even without significant european presence in NZ, but zulus and xhosas still fought with spears in the 1870s after 50 years of close contact with europeans

Fuck, the Iroquois in the 17th century traded fur for muskets with the French and Dutch and then proceeded to genocided their neighbours with those muskets to maintain a monopoly on the fur trade.

Zulus and Xhosa did have access and used firearm though.Yo, did you even read into those two groups?

firearms aren't enough to win a fight.

Technically the Boxers was a general Chinese revolt, not an anti-collonial one.

It became anti-colonial when the Qing -unwisely- sided with the Boxers.

Fortunately for the Qing, they lost control of their military, and the modernized Chinese units like the Beiyang stood down and let the crisis remain with the Qing Court and the Boxers as opposed to starting WWI in fucking China.

Really? It's pretty obvious why - they were inferior and of low intelligence.
