The death toll among native people in the Americas was primarily caused by diseases brought by European colonizers, such as smallpox, measles, and influenza. These diseases were introduced to which the native populations had no immunity, leading to widespread illness and death. In addition to diseases, other factors such as warfare, displacement, forced labor, and inadequate living conditions also contributed to the high death toll.
