Basically, the superior weaponry and technology enabled Europeans to dominate the globe, and colonize the Americas.

Many peoples, particularly in the Americas, the Pacific, and Sub-Saharan Africa, did not develop the sort of highly specialized economies that Europeans did, which ultimately became their downfall as European colonialists overwhelmed the natives in each region. This ultimately shifted the center of industrial output and economic power to Europe, in a process that would eventually be termed The Great Divergence. This also had the effect of knocking other great civilizations, such as the Indians and Chinese, down a peg and establishing European dominance over them as well.

Once the Constitution was approved, what more had to happen before it could go into effect?

Anarel [89]

By approval, I think you mean by the delegates from each state had approved it. The problem was that the states themselves had to approve it. That seemed like a cumbersome process, but you have to remember that democracy works on the will of the people and each state had to ratify it keeping in mind that there were still problems: it was not a slam dunk.

Which of the following characteristics describes the Greek city-state of Sparta? A. Invented democracy B. Focused on warlike abi

Burka [1]

I believe the correct answer is B. focused on warlike ability.
Spartans were famous for their warriors, and if you know anything about history (or you've seen the move '300') you know what I'm talking about. Democracy, philosophy, and art were are connected with Athens far more than with Sparta.
