the assumption that europeans conquored native americans with superior weapons has been rebutted many times but as person feels compelled to point out the error in assuming fighting at all with weapons gurantees succes.
prime examples of this can be seen in the occupation of ancient gaul by the roman legions and again by the nazis.
the concept of using what comes to hand and fighting with out weapons would imply scuccess. also the assumption is the native americans had to use guns to defeat europeans.
there had to factors like propaganda in both cases.the propaganda of nazis and attempt to destroy and re write history is known as is that of the spanish conquistadors. i have heard the victors write the history but i think it was essential to create the illusion of victory and a belief in military superiority the belief the army is superior to those not in it. a sexist philosophy also through propagandawhich endurs in the .s.a. army
