Thanks in advance

Well you can consider the fact that it was the enlightenment period (I believe...) in europe and they therefore were advancing in terms of science and weaponry.
Also, Europeans have a lot more experience at taking over places and entire cultures than the Native Americans do.
I guess a specific example would be European boats, the native american's couldn't sail long distance as the euros could.
