The Europeans were invaders and took ancestral lands of the Native Americans. They also brought disease, discrimination, foreign plants, animals, and insects. The European honey bee did more damage to the natural environment that it was environmental terrorism. Imagine you are sitting in your backyard and an alien spaceship lands. They get out and bring strange plants and animals with them and in a few weeks you are dying of a disease. They take your land, and discriminate against you because you aren't green like they are. Just think about how you would feel.
To put it simply, disease. Native Americans had none of the natural immunizations to Old World diseases- such as smallpox- that the arriving Europeans did. Rampant plague destroyed most of the Native American population, sometimes before Europeans even encountered certain groups.
There are a few other reasons, such as war, but for the most part it was simply disease. The Europeans did not actively destroy the population, nor did they intend to. Merely a consequence of thousands of years of continental separation.
The fact that Native Americans were invaded and the loss of ancestral lands is enough for conflict and to fight for what they had. The Europeans brought disease, killed them, killed food supplies, brought in plants, animals, and insects not native to North America. This was environmental terrorism and killed off native crops. Millions of Native Americans were in North America when the Europeans arrived and by 1800 there were only a few thousand. Whole tribes were killed.
They died because of sicknesses, and their immune system was down. So they couldn't defend themselves against those sicknesses.

Diseases such as malaria or small pox
the native americans created fur trade with europeans and the explorers later then kicked the native americans and brought viruses

Yes. That's why They're called native Americans! They were here first, until the Europeans came, and took over America.

Disease came with the Europeans. The old world brought diseases to the new world and they had no natural immunity to them.

When the Europeans originally came to the New World and met the Native Americans, they were not armed with guns. The had bows and arrows, spears, and other similar weapons. They came to use guns afterwards, through the Europeans.
