Native American Tribes and Tribal empires existed long before Europeans began their extensive explorations and settlements in the Western Hemisphere. The Natives' population began a slow but steady decline through armed conflicts with the well weaponed Europeans. Another cause of their decline was due to diseases they were exposed to from the Europeans. When European settlements were firmly established, there was cause for even greater alarm by the Natives. The Europeans were hell bent on expansion. Whenever Native tribes were deemed to be "in the way" they were forced by the well armed Europeans to march long distances away from their homelands. The Cherokees in Georgia for example were forced to march to the area of what is now Oklahoma. Many died from exposure or starvation. Little by little, the settlers placed the Natives in no win situations and the Native populations began to decrease and the populations of the Europeans increased.
they died due to europeans bringing over diseases that the native americans bodies were not adapted to.
They had much better weapons, war experience and tactics, and they brought diseases with them that the Natives had absolutely no immunity to.
Europeans treated the Arawaks fairly well for the times. They did use them as laborers, but did not look at them as slaves. They also, sadly, did what those colonizing new lands often do, that is, bring diseases to a country that the natives d not have immunity for. This helped decimate Arawak communities over time.
Disease killed over 90% of the natives, they had horses and gunpowder, and finally the atomic bomb killed everyone else.
Cortes had many advantages over the Aztecs. He had guns, steel armor, and help from the natives that the Aztec had conquered. He also, unknowingly spread diseases that Europeans had immunities for but Aztecs did not.

Europeans have been the most technologically advanced and most weapon advanced since the start of imperialism. They mostly took over the Americas, Africa, and Oceania. The natives to these lands were not technologically advanced or familiar with the Europeans' powerful weapons. The Europeans were able to take over very easily because there was basically no challenge. However, as time went by, the natives started acquiring such weapons themselves, usually by the Europeans themselves, and more and more countries started becoming independent.
Slavery expanded when Natives were forced to work for Europeans and Africans were shipped to the New World. This did not happen during the Middle Ages, however; it happened during the Renaissance.
by appealing to the time-honored maxim of "might makes right."
One of the advantages of the fur trade for Indians was that the Europeans supplied them with rifles. Fur was in high demand in Europe so Europeans were making a lot of profit. A disadvantage of the fur trade for the Europeans was that they had a lot of conflict with each other. A disadvantage for the Indians was that the Europeans took control over the fur trade.
