Why did the West go beyond the east, while Africa, which is even more brutal, has been colonial, while the second continent and South America do not

The curse of oil, the book said, because of the abundance of life, the need to get too easy, so that people lose fighting spirit.

Due to the climate differences between the East and the West, when humans were still subordinate to nature in the early days, humans were more likely to flourish and develop in areas with warm climate. When humans defeated nature, if it is satisfied with the status quo, it is inevitable that the progress will be slow. China's history and Dynasties have witnessed a period of flourishing age, while the climate is worse than that of the Western countries, but they are constantly struggling with nature, in addition, they targeted the rich East and laid the foundation for this starting point. The West began to catch up with the east. It was at least 300 years since Marco Polo, and before they realized that they started to lag far behind, today, in less than 100, Japan's time technology has exceeded the West. We have laid the foundation for catching up with each other for decades. Do we have no patience for 50 years now,

Today, we know ourselves and ourselves, and the fighting spirit brought by the climate is no longer there, and the rich material wealth it brings is still occupied by us. It is no wonder that the British would rather lose the Great Britain and not give up colonial India,

If a person does not do his/her best to play his/her role, he/she will lose all his/her resources,

Now we make the best of the world. If we are not satisfied with our move, we will be defeated without the best of the world,

Please help me improve it. Thank you.
