It is believed that smallpox, a highly contagious viral disease, caused the death of many American Indians after Europeans arrived in North America. The introduction of smallpox by European settlers led to devastating outbreaks among indigenous populations who had no immunity to the disease.
Poor sanitation, overcrowding, and lack of proper hygiene were main contributing factors to the spread of diseases like smallpox and dysentery among soldiers. Living in close quarters and unsanitary conditions facilitated the transmission of these diseases, especially in encampments and battlefield settings where resources were limited.
Two major European diseases that devastated Native American populations after 1492 were smallpox and measles. These diseases were introduced through contact with European explorers and settlers and resulted in significant declines in Native American populations due to lack of immunity.
It killed them because their bodies were not immune to the new diseases the new settlers brought with them from other countries.
