Smallpox was introduced to Indigenous populations in the Americas primarily through European colonizers and explorers. The disease was not intentionally spread, but it had devastating effects on Native American communities, who had no prior exposure and therefore lacked immunity. Historical accounts suggest that smallpox epidemics followed closely behind European settlement and military campaigns, significantly impacting Indigenous populations.
