Sometimes it's hard to tell if the OP is really that stupid or just trolling.

Italian and Spanish speaking people the world over are disorganized because their brains are disorganized from thinking in a chaotic language.Germanic languages offer more organization for the people that use them because the building block type structures of words that compose the languages. That aforementioned and the destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588.

There was no Italy .
There was no Germany .
Portugal lost their balls after their stupid king went in a Crusade and got himself dead .
France was not too hot in the whole colonization game . France was too turbulent and in debt to properly defend their colonies .
Spain was hit by a huge inflation , got involved in succession wars and most of their colonies were in very rich areas where gold , spices , cocoa and sugar were produced . No need to expand just for cotton & furs .
The Netherlands had their eyes into the East where they didn't fought against puny Indians but organized states with fleets like Acheh .
The Russians had Siberia to colonize and Mongols to fight off .
Scandinavians had very low population and were totally unwilling to move , the Swedes fucked up fighting Russia and the Danes never took the endeavor seriously .
The Ottomans didn't care at all .
The Austrians didn't like to get their feet wet plus they were involved in every fucking war and his mother for much of their history .
China was already too big to administrate , the last they wanted was more land .
India was split into multiple small kingdoms and then the Mughals took over .
Africa was too big , tribal , underdeveloped, underpopulated and turbulent .
