The landing of white men in the New World ultimately led to the death of 90% of the native population. Most of these deaths were a result of disease to which the natives had no immunities. However, a number of these were captured natives who were worked to death as slaves. In addition, Christopher Columbus and later explorers/conquistadors brought back much gold and silver to Spain. To dump this much currency into the economy at once causes prices to inflate for a short time, then sharply fall. This is exactly what happened to Spain. Their consequential depression removed them for a time from being considered a great power in Europe.

∙ 9y agoThe deaths of 5 to 150 million Native Americans from diseases from which they had no immunities. The destruction of the cultures of an entire hemisphere's people. Slavery. Genocide. The misrepresentation of history for 500+ years.

∙ 9y agoMany things happened between the Old World and the New. The New World brought pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, wheat, oats, barley, slaves, sugarcane and many diseases such as small pox. The New World sent back potatoes, corn, tobacco, lumber and syphilis. The New World lost far more than they gained.

∙ 7y agoThe consequences of Christopher Columbus' explorations were the opening to Europe of a vast new hemisphere. For Europeans, this was the beginning of a vast new world to be explored and colonized. To claim that the consequences of his explorations was the death of millions of Native Americans is illogical. Based on the logic of that premise, one could say he was responsible for the US Constitution.
