Expansion into the New World led to a massive boom in European population. The potato alone was responsible for some of the largest population growths in history in Ireland, Britain, Germany, and Poland. In the Mediterranean region, the tomato led to similar, but less stunning rises in population. In addition to a rising number of people, expansion into the New World also helped to elevate living standards in the Old World. The New World provided new products like pelts of American animals, and resupplied resources that the Europeans depleted such as lumber, fishes, precious metals, and iron.
