Deadly diseases were transmitted to the natives! Hope u do great!:)
Contact with the Europeans changed life in the new world by...?
Native American Tribes and Tribal empires existed long before Europeans began their extensive explorations and settlements in the Western Hemisphere. The Natives' population began a slow but steady decline through armed conflicts with the well weaponed Europeans. Another cause of their decline was due to diseases they were exposed to from the Europeans. When European settlements were firmly established, there was cause for even greater alarm by the Natives. The Europeans were hell bent on expansion. Whenever Native tribes were deemed to be "in the way" they were forced by the well armed Europeans to march long distances away from their homelands. The Cherokees in Georgia for example were forced to march to the area of what is now Oklahoma. Many died from exposure or starvation. Little by little, the settlers placed the Natives in no win situations and the Native populations began to decrease and the populations of the Europeans increased.
The Europeans spread disease, killing a third of all the natives they encountered in the South-East, there were often conflicts between the two peoples, and this lead to many deaths on both sides. Eventually certain Indians gained the Europeans trust, and were able to trade with some fairness.
They had no contact with any Natives, although they found signs of them...
What exactly are you talking about? European monarchs were quite different from each other, who are you referring to? And what natives? Europeans went on a colonizing spree across the world between the 15th and 19th centuries, where they came into contact with "natives" from every conceivable part of the world. If you're referring to Spanish, Portuguese, British, French and Dutch colonization of the Americas, the monarchs were partly responsible. As the heads of the kingdoms, vested with virtually all authority and power, it was them who made the decisions to commence with American colonization. At the same time, there were tons of other actors, from explorers to merchants to missionaries who all had a stake and an interest in colonization. The Spanish Crown made the decision to continue to send conquistadors to the Americas, but it wasn't a decision made in a vaccum. It was a combination of personal and political desires that led to colonization.
Native Americans, South American Natives, Natives in the Islands of Caribbean, Natives of the Philippines, Natives of Polynesia, Natives of Hawaii, Natives of New Zealand, Natives of China and Japan.
Small pox and influenza took many lives.
The arrival of Europeans to the America introduced the new diseases to natives such as the Iroquios. The natives had a weak immune system to these diseases because they and their ancestors were never exposed to them before.
The first European contact with native populations in the Americas is typically considered to have occurred in 1492 when Christopher Columbus reached the Caribbean islands.
Several peoples and civilizations prior to contact with Europeans. Some of them include the Arawak, Tupi, Inca, Mayan and Aztecs.
Europeans brought deadly diseases to the Americas that Native Americans were not immune to. This killed more natives than war.
