During the initial Portuguese arrival in India in 1498, Indian guns were superior in many ways to European ones

They had better metalworking and manufacturing capabilities

India was undeniably the most advanced manufacturing power in the world at this time, with over a third of the global GDP being created in India

why'd you post this on the international board

>>215028044 (OP)
That is simply not true.
The cannon firepower was the main reason 500 guys could defeat 10000 on a constant basis.
Why even come up with such bullshit?

Whites only achieved technological against brownies in the second half of the 19th century. Before that most thirdies were able to afford muskets and cannons. As for Indians. Put a on a steel helmet and ask someone to bash your head with a obsidian plated cub.

or maybe by making the enemy seem more impressive, they make themselves seem like better warriors?

maybe this is something armies have done for 1000s of years? say "we were only 300 and we went against an army of 100000!!!"

The Mughals were a gunpowder empire and did have complex firearms, but they weren't exactly considered superior to European ones, case in point being the propagation of the matchlock, which Mughals copied from Portuguese firearms. In fact a lot of firearms in Asia are either direct Portuguese models or copies of such, from Somalia to Japan. Even China used Portuguese cannons

>>215029676
once industrialization became a thing the game changed. Britain turned itself into a massive factory with railroads everywhere

>>215029676

Because of portugalian leftards who left colonies

>>215028618
British colonization was not like hispanic colinization, the British conquered india through exploiting corruption, bribing people to further that corruption, playing different sides against each other to weaken both, degrading the social fabric of the countries they want to conquer, ect. It also was done at first by an actual corporation and the government only came in later.

We didn't really catch the train into the industrial age at the best of times and can hardly stand on our own considering we had like 1/5 or even 1/6 of the population of the other great powers.

>>215028311
Alexander wasn't repelled, his army simply had had enough.

>>215028044 (OP)
