As far as nation-states vs tribes, are you talking about a numerical superiority of the former or something else?

Europeans had superior technology (mainly better weapons and ships) that allowed them an advantage in a conflict. Their arrangement into nation-states gave them greater numbers as well as greater political unity, which allowed them to project more power overseas. The combination of the two simply made them too powerful to resist.
