I think that the reason why the Europeans conquered the world instead of any other country was because they were the most skilled in technology and were more greedy. I think the civilizations such as the Africans and Native Americans were happy with their current lives. They weren't the most technologically advanced cultures but they were happy with their daily lives and didn't see much point in fixing what isn't broken. But the Europeans were much more adventurous and curious about their world around them, and the differences in life.
Since they had so many different types of weapons, and armor it was so easy for them to conquer any nation they chose. Unfortunatly for some cultures, when they didn't have the technical advantages the europeans had back then, it was very difficult for them to be able to sufficiently protect themselves. Or the possibilty for why others cultures didn't conquer the world first might have been because they simply hadn't thought of that yet. The idea to take over innocent peoples land for a selfish reason isn't the most common thing a simple village person would think about.
