Yes, the British Empire, like other colonial powers, contributed to the spread of diseases in colonized regions. The movement of people, including soldiers and settlers, facilitated the transmission of diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza to indigenous populations who had no prior exposure or immunity. This often resulted in devastating epidemics and significant declines in local populations. Additionally, the introduction of new diseases disrupted traditional health systems and exacerbated the impacts of colonization.

This is why countries have strict rules about what travelers can bring into their countries.
