Native Americans
A century after Columbus's arrival in the New World, the native population is estimated to have decreased by as much as 90%. This dramatic decline was primarily due to diseases introduced by Europeans, such as smallpox, as well as violence and displacement caused by colonization. The combination of these factors led to catastrophic demographic changes among indigenous populations across the Americas.
Columbus was trying to get to India when he ran into North America. He thought that he had arrived in India, so he referred to the Native Americans as Indians. AND, we still refer to them as such.
hye found native Americans
India This is why when Columbus landed in the New World, he called the Native Americans he found "Indians".
It is estimated that there were 1,800 different Native American languages spoken in the New World prior to the arrival of Columbus. No one knows the exact number.
He certainly did not make the world a better place for Native Americans.
Although the land that Christopher Columbus discovered and claimed for Spain was actually part of the "New World", he believed that these new lands were part of southern and eastern Asia. Even until his death, Columbus insisted these new lands were part of Asia, despite evidence from other European explorations which suggested these lands were actually part of the "New World".
He changed their world. Brought disease, slavery, and discrimination.
more like an exploiter because many had come upon the new world way before Columbus. How else did the Native Americans get here?
