Why did the Native American population rapidly decline after the arrivals of Europeans?

Native American Tribes and Tribal empires existed long before Europeans began their extensive explorations and settlements in the Western Hemisphere. The Natives' population began a slow but steady decline through armed conflicts with the well weaponed Europeans. Another cause of their decline was due to diseases they were exposed to from the Europeans. When European settlements were firmly established, there was cause for even greater alarm by the Natives. The Europeans were hell bent on expansion. Whenever Native tribes were deemed to be "in the way" they were forced by the well armed Europeans to march long distances away from their homelands. The Cherokees in Georgia for example were forced to march to the area of what is now Oklahoma. Many died from exposure or starvation. Little by little, the settlers placed the Natives in no win situations and the Native populations began to decrease and the populations of the Europeans increased.
