The Europeans had been exposed to many diseases and bacteria prior to coming to America. Their immune systems had adapted to those threats to their personal health, but they still carried the differing ailments with them in one form or another.
When the American people (who had been exposed to fewer diseases - largely due to geographic isolation) encountered the many potent diseases of the Europeans, their immune systems had not yet built up antibodies or resistance to them, so the diseases spread quickly and took many lives during the first few decades of European contact.

People had little natural resistance to the European diseases.
Because the native people of America were not immune to pox and other European diseases none of them had ever undergone.
If by people in America you mean "Native Americans", they had not developed the immunities to European diseases, over the centuries that Europeans had developed. Diseases such as measles, diphtheria, even chicken pox, not to mention smallpox were devastating to the American Indian. It is probable that more Native Americans died of European diseases than died in the many battles with the white man.
Diseases can lead to social stigma and discrimination, affect relationships and social interactions, and impact mental health and well-being. They can also strain healthcare systems and resources, leading to inequalities in access to care.
Huge numbers of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.
The native people had never been exposed to European diseases and had no immunity.

The Bella Coola people faced conflicts with neighboring tribes and European settlers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They also encountered diseases brought by Europeans, such as smallpox, which had devastating effects on their population.
A bad disease that not many people know about is MCS. MCS is Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and can be a devastating illness.
The most common impact of Explorers in North America was... to be continued... sike... it was eitherA. Land was claimed for European CountriesB. Successful settlements were startedC. Native people people were mistreatedd. Diseases were spread among Native people
The people did not have immunity against the disease
Yes it did because if Europe didn't colonize most of Central America would be Incan or Aztecan.
because the native Americans did not have any contact with outside continent germs, and viruses. When the Europeans came into america, they brought with them all foreign germs and diseases.
Herd Immunity. Europeans were around people who have had European diseases (in various stages of recovery). When you get small doses of a disease, your body can start working on getting rid of it, perhaps without you getting the full symptoms. If you have never been around a disease your body has to start from "scratch" and learn it.
