How come other cultures haven't been able to achieve as much as Europeans?
<|assistant|>
Europeans have experienced tremendous historical advantages due to their geography, technology, and colonial expansion. These advantages afforded Europeans the time, resources, and knowledge necessary to develop and prosper in ways not seen in other cultures. Many of these benefits stemmed from colonialism and the trade that was created because of it, giving Europeans access to new and unique technology, resources, and skills from other cultures. As colonialism eradicated or diminished, many of the opportunities that once existed no longer exist for other cultures. This creates challenges for them in regards to advancing at the same rate, or in some cases surpassing, European countries in terms of development and advancement.
