The Fall of Men For The Amazonians

I think that when the Europeans arrived, the Native Amazonias must have seen their fall, for vairous reasons. First and foremost, when the colonists came and started to conquer, the Amazonians didn't know who they were, what language they spoke, nothing about them. So they assumed these guys were sent by the gods, or were gods themselves. As the amazonians were firm believers in their Gods, they didn't dare touch one of these guys, and much less with a sword. All they did was turn themselves in, give their gold and precious things, and surrender. 

Another reason they thought it was their end was because the Europenas brought diseases that these people didn't even know about. As soon as it hit some of them, probably in a few days and the whole tribe could be affected. There are statistics that say that about 90% of the tribes were completely aniquilated only by diseases. If an indian tried to escape these diseases by going to another culture, he probably would find the others in the same state, or he might not even find the tribe anymore.  

Apart from killig many from diseases, they got some as slaves, others were simply killed. These poor indians had not the least idea what was going on, they just let themselves be killed. Others, the ones who did rebell, were outweaponed. These guys brought metal swords, and some already had gunpowder. What an unfair battle they were fighting. They probably did believe it was their end, the fall of man.
