      In reality, the wild west ended for two main reasons. 1) People just wanted a better and secure life, so they started to move into cities. 2) The US government started depicting Cowboys as criminals because some of them didn't pay taxes, so they engaged Bounty Hunters to kill them. That's how Far west ended.

      Machine guns were first used in 1914, during WWI.
      The Wild West was early 1800s.

    I'm from the town of DeKalb, Illinois, where Joseph Glidden lived, about one hour west of Chicago. DeKalb is also known for being the home of Northern Illinois University and famed supermodel Cindy Crawford. We have always been told that barbed wire was invented there but three men are credited with inventing at all around the same time. The story goes that Glidden, Isaac Ellwood and German immigrant Jacob Haish all went to a fair together in Waterman, a town about 20 minutes south of DeKalb. There they saw an invention of a block of wood with wires protruding from it That were meant to keep cattle confined. When they when they got home all three of them decided to give their best shot at inventing barbed wire. Glidden and Ellwood both invented strands of barbed wire but Ellwood realized that Glidden's was somewhat superior so instead of competing with him he decided to join him. Meanwhile Haish invented his own strand at about the same time. they all became wealthy off of it and A barbed wire factory was opened up in DeKalb that ran for many years.
    Landmarks from these men as well as their names can be seen all over town. The sports teams for DeKalb High School are called The Barbs. I lived near Elwood House mansion which now does tours and has a museum attached.

      @PanQuakes The original natives (the Khosian, or "Caped Coloureds") of South Africa were genocided by the African tribes that now represent the majority population. The European settlers had settled on empty land devastated by Zulu and Konoglese conquest. They built civilization from the ground up. But even if you want to arbitrarily grant the largest continent on earth to the lowest IQ population on the planet over proximity, we can have that conversation *after* we send the nonwhites out of Europe and her satellite countries.

      But even if what you are saying isn't complete fantasy, what have they done with it? When Europeans arrived with deep sea sailing vessels and Arqubus rifles, no African tribes had developed their own written language, a wheel, animal husbandry or basic agriculture. Under today's rule, they ethnically cleanse the same people who educated their country and raised every metric of wellbeing.

    I'd argue that it was the invention of the windmill. The windmill made it possible to farm land that previously, couldn't be farmed due to lack of irrigation.
    This opened up the entire Midwest for cultivation. If it weren't for the windmill, farmers and ranchers wouldn't need barbed wire, because there would be no point in sectioning off land that wasn't usable.
