When the Europeans came to the Americas, they brought a variety of diseases which had not been introduced to the Natives. These diseases proved to be extremely deadly. Many explanations are given for the huge decrease in the numbers of Natives; however, these new diseases were a huge contributer. Very soon after the Europeans arrival in the Americas, observers noticed that the Natives were catching and dying from introduced diseases. The death tole from these diseases is impossible to calculate, but it was up to 90% of the population which was killed in some places. The Europeans would arrive to a much weakened and depleted population, which greatly facilitated their ability to conquer. Disease such as typhus, measles, influenza, bubonic plague, cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, mumps, yellow fever, and pertussis (whooping cough), and especially smallpox proved extremely deadly. Disease spread quickly through the Americas for several reasons. Firstly, the NativesWhat_Effect_did_disease_have_on_the_native_Americanstechniques included sweat baths and cold water dippings which may have increased mortality rate. Secondly, the Europeans had much agriculture which allowed them to have more diseases and be more immune to them. Finally, the Natives had already been weakened by a hemorrhagic fever which compounded the effects of the new diseases
It was mainly smallpox, but many other diseases also killed many Native Americans, such as typhus.
The largest claims of death by disease were from Smallpox.

Small pox.

what killed them is a disease called the black pluge it was a bad disease people had killed many people . :D hope it helps a lot <3
One result of the loss of Native American lives to disease is that the Native Americans moved farther away from the Europeans. Another result of disease among the Native Americans was their lack of people to fight the Europeans for land.
Not many, when you compare that number to the number of Native- Americans killed.
the long term effects on columbus's "discovery" of the native american people were that he killed most of them and there is not that many or at all, alive. he wiped them out with all his soldiers and disease.
Disease, particularly smallpox, killed a significant number of Native Americans when the Spanish arrived because the Indigenous populations had no immunity to these new diseases. They had not been previously exposed to them, while Europeans had built up some level of resistance over centuries. This lack of immunity allowed diseases brought by the Spanish to spread rapidly and ravage Native American communities.
smallpox
Disease killed many Native Americans.
Diseases that were brought to the Americas from Europe. Americans had no immunities from those diseases. What would make a European mildly sick would kill people that had no resistance at all.

The people who came from Europe to the New World. They killed the Native Americans with their foreign diseases and their random slayings. They also forced the Native Americans off of their land and that starved them.

The Europeans started to use the Native Americans as slaves.
Not many, when you compare that number to the number of Native- Americans killed.
because of disease
Disease
It killed them because their bodies were not immune to the new diseases the new settlers brought with them from other countries.
