How was the encounter between Amerindians and Europeans?

The Europeans brought new diseases that killed off about 70% of them. The remaining amount were enslaved to work in the mines. Although there was a good side. The Columbian exchange was an exchange of biological products between the two. One of the major one was the potato which single handedly saved Europe from starvation. The Europeans gave diseases and the Amerindians gave food.

How did the europeans wipe out the Indians?

They didn't. If they had, there would be no Indians to talk about. Europeans coming to North America way back then brought with them diseases that were quite common -- and ineffectual -- in Europe, where immunities had developed, but deadly in the New World. Yes, there were times when, for example, US Army soldiers were shooting and killing AmerIndians wholesale. But the real slaughter took place on the microbial level. AmerIndians were helplessly susceptible to diseases carried by European "invaders." Smallpox was especially deadly, but other "minor" diseases like measles and chicken-pox were killers as well.
