ah, like i'd like to say 'b' but know what? most times cultures are usually destroyed from within. nobody toots your own horn just like you and nobody , but nobody, can put you down without your permission. owing to this fact, in-fighting, weak govt, lack of internal support made european colonization so much easier. the europeans came into the areas in droves and the change-over was quick but there was little or no resistance. gone, baby, gone!
