One major European killer of Native Americans was disease. Europeans brought diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza to the Americas, to which the indigenous peoples had no immunity. These diseases caused widespread devastation and significantly reduced the population of Native Americans.

The first Europeans brought an avalanche of invisible but deadly foreign diseases, such as smallpox, influenza, typhoid, mumps, measles, malaria, whopping cough, Bubonic Plague, yellow fever, pneumonia, and dysentery. These diseases quickly spread and killed about 90% of the native population.
