Guns, Germs, and Steel is about natives thriving off of their agriculture and trades until the Europeans came. The Europeans did suffer from foreign diseases like malaria but they also brought foreign diseases, animals, and plants. The diseases killed the population in numbers and the few left went into poverty because there was no one to produce the agriculture. My group studied the development goal No Poverty because many people are suffering from it especially the middle east. The middle east had many empires overthrown and those people were forced into poverty from lack of resources and money.
About 700 million are suffering in poverty and live off of less than $2 a day. They eat little to no food and it is a really big problem for the world. In the US states that are colder and have harsh weather conditions send the homeless to Hawaii to get rid of their poverty problems. That is why Hawaii has such a big poverty number. We have consistent tropical weather so the mainland persuades the people in poverty to live here. We have to deal with he states poverty problems as well as ours. Wealth & Poverty of Nations. (n.d.).
