How did the European People succeed better than the rest of the world?

It was actually their wars that made them the most powerful. Having that much competition with one another forced them to become better and better and change. Asia and the Americas stayed the same for long spans of time so they didn't feel the pressure to change. As for Africa, I have absolutely no idea, I'm gonna go with lack of rescources there though. A great analogy would be ten people begin playing chess with one another, they keep winning and losing and getting better and better. Eventually they all become masters and continue to play. now say someone goes and asks to play with someone outside of their group who only played occasionally. The only outcome is an inihilation.
