Why have white races always been so expansive?

Question

How come everyone else in the world has been more to themselves and the white races have expanded their culture all over the world?

Answer 1

copulation
results in
population

Answer 2

Dark skin pigmentation is nature's best defense against the ravages of the sun, so over thousands of years these races tended to predominate in the sun drenched tropics, where the living was easy and there was little incentive to move on. The lighter types, however, had a much harder time, having to deal with seasonal famine and serious shelter from the weather. Life being much more difficult and chancy, they had to be always ready to move on out of necessity since resources were easily exhausted in any one area. They had to develop technology to deal with the hardships and cultural institutions for self protection from those others moving on. More recently the white races have been expansive because with their technology and organization they can.

Answer 3

Because the white races first developed:-
a.) The Musket
b.) The Cannon
c.) The rifle
d.) The pistol (or, for our American friends, the Handgun.)
e.) Artillery
f.) Machine Guns
g.) Tanks
h. )Aircraft (especially Warplanes)
j.) Warships
k.) Nuclear Bombs
l.) ICBM's
m.)....need I say more?
It is in the nature of humanity to expand to fill more territory. This is common to most animals. With the advantages listed above, are you surprised that the white races have expanded over the globe?

Answer 4

That's a limited generalization. Different races have expanded to different territories at different times. The Asiatic races have been extremely expansive when the the Caucasians were pretty quiet ---namely, they colonized the Pacific Islands, North America and South America. Negro races traveled across southern Asia to populate Australia. Given the fact that we are all probably related to the same ancestors who moved out of Africa, the concept of "race" is pretty much irrelevant.

Answer 5

There is a great book on this, called Guns Germs and Steel, by Jared Diamond. It expands on exactly that question.

Answer 6

Curiosity.

Answer 7

there are miilions of differnt white culteres. Many of them vary quite a lot.
Its not really to do with the white race spreading, its more to do with geographic location.
The white race is more dominant as such, mainly due to the fact that coloured/tanned skin people only tend to origionate from hotter climates (hence darker skin evolved due to pigment reaction to humid / sunny climate), which only covers a small part of the surface of the planet.
I think your question relates to a stereo type that vastly out dated.
Now days, every race freely mixes and expresses it's self in every walk of life in every country.

Answer 8

Just think about the Vikings, Roman Empire & British Empire.

They travelled alot and claimed vast areas as their own.

Answer 9

As Gods gift to the rest of yas we are following a divine plan and that includes seeing the world. You don't read much history do you

Answer 10

We have the need to explore the next valley.To push our frontiers.

We have also had the technology and know how to expand.

Should this be a crime.

The british empire has given language,religion,medicine,
engineering,Art and social skills to the rest of the world.Propelling them thousands of years into the modern age.
We leave them alone for 40 years and theyre back to hitting each other over the head with clubs.

Answer 11

I think curiosity has a lot to do with it,Europeans have always wanted to know what was over the horizon.
