But though Indian resistance was strong Native Americans didn't have effective military organization and Europeans used the tactics of total warfare. Knowing enemy's superiority Indians unleashed guerilla wars but they didn't have any chance to win as they were not united. That was the main reason of Native Americans' failure. Colonists played various Indian tribes against one another as Colin G. Calloway wrote and this Roman strategy succeeded. Very few Native Americans realized this threat but they could do nothing: they all were sentenced to death in the battle against own brothers or colonists. It is worth mentioning that warfare influenced both European and Indian military tactics: "Europeans showed Indians that survival depended on securing and using guns; Indians taught Europeans that success in American warfare demanded adapting to the American environment." But every smart person knows that war is always evil whatever it is waged for. Military pressure was the most primitive but unfortunately the most effective method of colonization which changed North America. New diseases combined with falling birth rates, escalating warfare, alcoholism, and general social upheaval to turn Indian America into a graveyard."-these were one the main results of colonization and European influence on Native Americans. It is hard to believe but civilized and educated Europeans turned out to be real barbarians who considered indigenous population of the land they settled on as wild animals. But there also can be another understanding of colonization process. Colonization was a beginning of history of great country - United States of America which now is able to protect rights...

...

I would like everybody to take into consideration all aspects of colonization because that was a very complicated process which combined lots of positive and negative factors. But still United States of America is the most economically strong democratic country of the world and we should be proud of it and remember its history because future is impossible without past.
