Guns, Germs, and Steel -- and Latin script?

[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 6410981, member: 376845"] I wouldn’t say the accident of Latin script rather the notion of basing your script on phonetics initially. The Cherokee Indians wondered why the white man was so successful and decided it was due his use of writing and newspapers so they set out to create a phonetic script for Cherokee and within a decade became highly literate as their newspaper covered larger issues than word of mouth. Unfortunately it made them a target of the US govt who forced them from their lands as they became more politically aware fearful that the newspaper could incite riots and more.
