      The butterfly effect is more interesting than we’ll ever understand.
      ( *not* ) the movie
      Butterfly effect definition:
      A property of chaotic systems (such as the atmosphere) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system.
      Basically 1 small change may have extreme consequences/changes. For example if you went back in time and stepped on a twig you could easily drastically change the future.

      They weren't gonna change. They have neither the animals nor the political will to advance their country. The same way Africa was mostly still just tribes, the New World as mostly tribes. Inca, Maya, and Aztec were the only real civilizations, and they were practically ancient by the time the Spanish landed. They suffered no plagues or famines yet spent a lot of time fighting and killing each other. Just because a people become isolated doesn't mean they would develop a parallel society and technology. They will regress to the least inconvenient state and stop innovating if they don't have problems. Innovation happens if there is a problem and the inventor know he will benefit directly from the process. Aztecs don't innovate, they plunder.

      Also speaking of technology they left out a huge factor, it wasn't the native ships that were important, it was the fact that they built huge European style ships. The native canoes attacked them, but they were so gigantic by comparison and tall that they couldn't board them and the Spanish from their ships just shot at them like fish in a barrel. Canoe vs 3 masted huge Spanish Barque with canons and arquebus = battleship!

      @@e1ochai to think that “boom stick” caused the fall of a “Neolithic civilization” is false. You are giving way too much credit to the Europeans when in reality disease pretty much was the main cause of death in the Americas. Germ theory? It doesn’t matter if they understood what germ theory was at the time.What matters that it spread and caused the death of millions not boom sticks
