Outside Post #11: Guns Germs and Steel

In our AP World History class, we saw a movie called Guns Germs and Steel Part 2. This was a National Geographic documentary in which this guy names Jared Diamond goes and studies about the Incas and the Conquistadors. The main leader in the Spanish Conquistadors was Pizarro who was born in a small town in Spain. When they defeated the Incas, they not only defeated them and killed their king, but they also left an silent killer disease, Smallpox. The Incas did not know how to deal with this disease because they had never dealt with something this bad. Some of the conquistadors were immune to the disease, so they were able to reproduce. So their children had also that immunity. So at the end, Diamond ended with a final opinion, he said that the conquistadors had an advantage over the Incas because they had "Guns Germs and Steel."
