In the late 1400s, most Europeans knew little if anything about the Americas. Columbus made his first voyage in 1492 and even his later voyages resulted in little real knowledge about either North or South America.

In the late 1400s and early 1500s, European explorers and colonizers were able to expand their territories in the Americas largely due to the devastating impact of diseases such as smallpox and measles, which decimated Indigenous populations. This demographic collapse weakened Indigenous resistance, allowing Europeans to establish settlements and exploit resources with relative ease. The resulting power imbalance facilitated the rapid colonization and exploitation of vast areas of the Americas.

When Europeans first started exploring the Americas, they discovered that the Mayans and Aztecs already were consuming chocolate, as a drink. They had been consuming chocolate since about 2,000 years ago. The Europeans took the chocolate to Europe, and it went on from there. So this would have been from the late 1400s on. See the Related link below.
In the late 1400s, European explorers and colonizers encountered various Indigenous tribes across the Americas. In North America, they faced tribes such as the Taino in the Caribbean, the Powhatan Confederacy in Virginia, and the Iroquois in the Northeast. In Central and South America, they encountered sophisticated civilizations like the Aztecs and the Incas. These interactions often led to conflict, disease, and significant cultural changes for the Indigenous peoples.
