Mass colonisation of America to not be conquered by your neighbour because of the reformation splitting Europe
>>
>>2731939
Posted too early
Reformation and colonisation of americas created mass middle class which were reliant on goods produced by the own nation keeping revenues within the state, rather than Silk Road states putting a few tariffs here and there, thus making these colonial powers richer than the old world allowing them to field larger and better equipped armies
Combine this with better utilising crops led to population booms

The Ming had a very bad time of it during the late 15th and early 16th century.

The economic benefit of having two continents worth of resource colonies that no one else can reach cannot be overstated.

Invention of firearms and improvement through war.
Illnesses in the middle ages made them have better immune systems which helped when invading places with less illnesses.
Constant blood and iron conflicts led to perfection of seamanship and warfare along with resources key for industrialization that led to the industrial revolution.
It was the shitty middle ages that led to a better period after.

I'm thinking about writing an essay on this called Firearms, Illnesses, and Iron.

In all serious though it was probably just an accident, a culmination of multiple historical events that provided the prerequisites for Europe to become preeminent in the world, could have happened anywhere but just so happened to be Europe.

>ottomans block trade in Europe forcing them by sea
>spaniards discover America
>Spanish diseases are sent and and with tactical diplomacy (i.e allying with angry rival tribes which number in the thousands) the America's is conquered

That's the gist of it. If you really want to get into it
>how did Anglos prove themselves to be superior to most other Europeans
Because they live in a comfy island and haven't been threatened for centuries since (until WW2)

>haven't been threatened for centuries
The catholic Stuart's would have posed a greater threat if France invested in them and not the colonists
