Colonized nations were dominated by European countries because they possessed inferior communications, technology, and weapons.

When Europeans arrived in America, the Aztecs and Mayas of Central America had developed empires sustained by large-scale agriculture and long-distance trade. On the other hand, what contributed to European domination was the development of new technologies and the creation of better maps and navigation techniques. The invaders carried pathogens that set off pandemics of smallpox, plague, and other illnesses to which Indians had no immunity. On top of that, Europeans had developed fire-guns that, even being very rustic, still had a huge advance against native indigenous weapons, mostly based in bow and arrows.

this act gave the federal government the power to relocate any native in the east to territory west of the mississippi river.
