I see. Well then it should include natural disasters, not just man made problems.

I think a part of the success of Europeans has been our mild climate. Other than the black death and a few droughts etc, natural disasters haven't really stopped us much over the years.

Partly, but parts of North America have a very similar climate to Europe.

New England has a similar climate to our own.

Part of the reason England become the most powerful nation on earth, is that it was homogeneous between 1066 and 1950 unlike the ethnic strife which you find in the Balkans or the Middle East.
