What makes the European countries advanced in the ancient world ?, so they can colonize the countries of the country in asia. In ancient times (1800-1900), countries such as Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, and others already had good weapons to fight, where did they get the weapons?

[Munareal]

What made European countries advance in the ancient world because of their economic and political power of which they are able to conquer societies like Asia and the Middle East which were far more advanced than them. This they achieved through incentives and war they give the political leaders that faced in them.

they have more scientists which devolped more adanced weapons and then they attack and success while africans and asian counties have not such weapons so they get defeated

[Abiodun]

One of the reason why the European countries where more advanced is that they had better scientist that kept on making research and ideas in making new things and findings that would be useful to the world and by doing so, this gave them a upper hand in the world then.

In ancient times (1800-1900),

My frined... this is not "ancient times"
This is 100-200 years ago! 

Asia was by far the richest before the industri revolution (~1800s)
India and China together had around 50% of global economy until industrial revoltuion

basically, asians got too rich and lazy like western countries now and thought that europeans are not a threat.
but europeans like christopher colombo wanted to find way to asia to get the riches like silk and spice.

instead, they found america, with many free resources.
and they also started industry revolution with machine which gave even more power, while china and india think white man is stupid and no threat 

now maybe you can say... its happening reverse becasue india and china was poor and now hungry
