In Latin America and Asia, civilizations such as the Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, Chinese, Japanese, and Khmer Empire had far superior knowledge of math and science and astronomy than the primitive, barbaric thugs of Europe, in the throes of the anti-science, religion-dominated Dark Ages with their oppressive terrorism and “convert-or-die” forced religious “conversions.”
Some ask, “Well, if they were so advanced, how could handful of European soldiers conquer entire empires so easily?”
Imagine a doctor, professor, rocket scientist and other professionals walking down a street en masse. They encounter just a few well-armed street thugs whom they greatly outnumber. Who will conquer in a street brawl? Who is more violent? Who is more advanced?
The earliest of the primitive, barbaric, undocumented invader thugs and religious terrorists arriving from Europe would have died without the superior skills provided by the indigenous population (and the earliest settlements that lacked indigenous support did die out).
One can imagine how varied the weaponry was among the barbaric indigenous population or primitive conquerers at that time….poison blowdarts and sharpened bone knives etc. etc. Nowadays, some thieves even use loaded hypodermic needles etc. to inflict wounds. It is just as difficult today for police to combat crime as it was then as criminals are always inventing new more deadly weapons.
Space Spain has arrived. Will Space England invade and make things worse? Are they all carrying deadly extraterrestrial diseases, for their “good measure?”
There is a comic here that is run once a week about a future where Spain is the ruler because they control the FTL drives everyone uses. Only they can fix them.

Hey, those thugs are my ancestors you’re talking about! Yours too? Just be glad China didn’t discover the New World.
