Imagine how much slower colonization would have gone without the Reformation and all the religious persecution in Europe. Natives might've been able to build up and modernize if Europeans hadn't been literally fleeing for their lives.

I don't know about the US but over here it's because we constantly bomb those countries back into the stone age.
