Spanish brought small pox
They quickly began sending their own explorers and colonists to the Americas.
Horses were brought to America by Spanish explorers during the early days of European colonization in the 16th century. They were introduced to the continent as a means of transportation and quickly spread throughout the Americas.
European explorers typically lived in various types of temporary dwellings such as tents, log cabins, or small huts during their expeditions. These structures were built quickly and were portable to accommodate their nomadic lifestyle as they traveled to new lands. In their home countries, explorers may have lived in more permanent dwellings fitting the architectural styles of their respective regions and time periods.
European explorers referred to the hummingbird as the "fly bird" due to its incredibly rapid wing beats, which can create a humming sound reminiscent of flying insects. The bird's ability to hover in place and dart quickly from flower to flower contributed to this nickname, as it seemed to flit about like a fly. Additionally, the explorers' observations of the bird's small size and agile movements reinforced this association.
The demographic collapse of the indigenous population of Latin America was primarily caused by diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza brought over by European explorers and settlers. These diseases were previously unknown to the indigenous peoples and spread quickly due to lack of immunity. Additionally, forced labor practices, warfare, and social disruption also contributed to the decline of indigenous populations.
to find a trade route to Asia
Turkeys were first introduced to Britain in the early 16th century, around the 1520s. They were brought over from the Americas by Spanish explorers and quickly became popular as livestock. The birds were named "turkeys" due to a misconception that they originated from Turkey, where they were traded.
