the difference in the way Europe treated Asia and America around the 16th century.

 After Columbus discovered the Americas in 1492, and Vasco da Gama of Portugal discovered a sea route to the East around the southern tip of Africa in 1498, Europe began to engage in active colonial and trade deals with Asia and the Americas. However, Europeans in this period treated countries in Asia and the Americas very differently.   In the Americas, conquerors like Cortes and Pisa destroyed huge cities like Astec and the Incas, forced Christianity with violence and intimidation, robbed gold and various goods, and sent home. Britain established East India Company in India in the early 17th century, and since the mid-16th century, Espanya and Portugal have already sent Jesuit missionaries such as Matteo Ritchi and Francisco Xavier to the Ming and Japan.    Did Europeans refrain from using force in respect of Asians' high-quality culture and standard of living? Perhaps if it were possible to conquer these countries by force, they would have led troops in at any time. But while Europe was ahead of Asia in gunfire weapons such as gunfire and cannon firearms at the time (Japan was impressed by the Portuguese's gun firearms and the Ming and Qing dynasties, impressed by the power of Portuguese cannons, European firearms are already ahead of Asia).   If I could, I would have liked to swallow Japan and China as I had conquered the Americas and the Philippines, but as I mentioned in the above article, the problem was that these Asian countries were not easy. During the Warring States Period, the daimyo and the monarchs of the Edo Shogunate paid for the trade with silver and the amount was considerable. Were you not willing to conquer the Conquistador, who had gone to America at the risk of death in love with gold and silver, as Japan? I think it was a problem because the mind was like a chimney, but it was too strong to invade by force. Therefore, it was not purely voluntary that Jesuit missionaries in China and Japan took a missionary method that respected the culture and customs of the locals.  In addition, by the end of the 16th century, Japan produced and utilized a huge number of iron guns modeled after European firearms, and China and Joseon also had many large artillery guns produced by themselves, such as guns and large artillery guns. They were suitable as traders, but too difficult to conquer.        To conquer countries like South America that were isolated from other civilizations and remained at the technological level of the Stone Age, it would have taken hundreds of thousands of soldiers to invade Asian countries such as Joseon, Ming, Japan, and India, and it would have been almost impossible to succeed.      Even though the Edo Shogunate was established in Japan and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the three major shogunates, expelled all South Europeans and executed Christians on a large scale, Espanya and Portugal would not dare to retaliate, but they were not capable of doing so. In fact, when a missionary of the Jesuit Church, who had been ostracized by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, sent a letter to Philip of Spain asking him to conquer Japan, the Eastern Patrolman of the Jesuit Church hurriedly wrote to dissuade him. "The Japanese are very violent and belligerent, and there will be no benefit in conquering them and making them Peha's subjects." Also, Japanese monarchs like Hideyoshi are not afraid at all because they know that Spain, far away from the sea, is not capable of sending hundreds of thousands of troops by ship." Things haven't changed much since the 17th century. Even the Netherlands suffered the humiliation of losing Taiwan to 20,000 troops led by Jeong Seong-seong, the central figure of the Ming Dynasty's revival movement in 1661, and eventually failing to regain it.      The time when the European offensive began in earnest should be seen as the 19th century when the performance of science and technology and weapons accumulated based on the industrial revolution soared. Except for Europe, countries in Asia, Africa, and the Americas have their cannons and warships in front of them. India became a British colony, and the Qing Dynasty was divided into pieces by many European powers, like cutting a birthday cake. Except for Thailand and Japan, most of them are colonized. But in a way, Asia was lucky.    In North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, the Europeans almost exterminated or expelled the natives, and did not press them to live in their place. (Tasmenians literally "extinguish") In addition, Americans hunt large numbers of blacks in Africa to make them slaves instead of weak Indians.  It was the Anglo-Saxons who took the initiative in the genocide of the Nazi Jews, the genocide of the Japanese sub-sea, and the Genoside rather than Maruta. These are the ethnic groups that have committed the greatest sin in modern history.
