Best Answer

This applies to all European countries (although, typically Western ones).

How did these small European countries take over the world? Well their large populations helped a little. But the main reason is for their weapons. Europe was perhaps the only technologically advanced place in the world at this time (in addition to Japan and the US, depending on what time period) and they had the weapons. The most powerful were guns. When Europe went to the New World and met the Natives, the Natives were giving and caring. However, they did not dare disturb the Europeans are they'd have to face their guns and weapons. The same idea stands for Africa and Asia. However, as these countries started getting weapons themselves, mostly from the Europeans, they started fighting back (although most independencies were peaceful).
