The countries of the East developed in their own way. Their industrialization process took place much later than in the West. It is also worth noting that these regions were in some isolation, which was the reason for the slow pace of development. Asia and Africa in the 17th and 19th centuries were backward regions. If in Asia there was at least some small progress, then in Africa there was practically a primitive system. Thus, the Europeans, with significant technological superiority, were able to easily conquer these lands, because they were opposed by poorly organized armies armed with spears and arrows.
