[quote=Anonymous]It makes more sense that it is geography and resources that makes a difference. China and India have been the two greatest economies because they have large area with fertile soil plains fed by huge Perennial Himalayan rivers. Hence they always had(have) huge population which in turn creates a large internal market for them to produce and consume, propelling the economy forward. US has relatively usable area(with plains) with fertile eastern half with big size and big resources. Canada is also very flat with enough water resources to produce large aomount of grains. It also benefited from the cold and only the brave venture there. Spanish went to Canada but found it too cold and went to Latin America. South America is bad terrain. It has either the Andes, Thick Amazonian forests or deserts for the most part. THEY LACK PLAINS and arable land..[/quote]
