Why did so many native Americans die after coming into contact with the europeans?

Many Native Americans died after contact with Europeans primarily due to the introduction of diseases such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, to which they had no immunity. Additionally, violent conflicts, forced displacement, and harsh conditions resulting from European colonization further contributed to their decline. The combination of these factors led to devastating population losses among Indigenous communities.


Why did many of native Americans die when the Europeans arrived?

The entire population of North American in 1600 is estimated at 1 million. So there were not millions dying. Initial contact with Europeans introduced a large number of diseases to the native population. The East Coast of the continent was devastated, and the Pilgrims arrived to find abandoned villages and a very low native population.


How did the lackof immunity to disease affect the native American people?

Bercause Native Americans did not have exposure to the diseases the Europeans brought over, they had not built up immunity to them and when outbreaks occured in the Europeans, the Native Americans would get the diseases and die usually more quickly than the europeans and in larger numbers. An example is the small pox virus that was introduced to America and Native Americans by the Europeans.


How did the mistreatment and death of native Americans affect the people of Africa?

What caused millions of native Americans to die after Europeans came?

Why did Europeans view African slaves as a better a source of labor than Native Americans?

There are 3 Answers! Be sure to get them all.AnswerAfricans were immune to the conditions and diseases. It was because the africans were already in contact with the europeans when they had started trading with one another. Europeans felt they could indur the climate because of their skin color. Many Native Americans started to die off because of the diseases. Alot of the native Americans also started to escape,fight back, and many of them died off. They also felt that Africans were cheaper. AnswerThe Native Americans were less resistant to the diseases that the Europeans brought over. The Portuguese and other sailors had already made the selling of African slaves an established trade. In North America, the settlers initially weren't in a position to take Native Americans as slaves because they lived a precarious existence that needed to be at peace with the Natives to continue. AnswerThere were more Africans available and the Europeans found it more pracitcal to buy Africans from Africans than to attempt to capture "Native Americans."
