Many Native Americans died within the first 50 years of European rule primarily due to the introduction of Infectious Diseases, such as smallpox and influenza, to which they had no immunity. Additionally, violent conflicts and displacement from their lands contributed to their declining populations. European colonization also disrupted traditional lifestyles and food sources, exacerbating the impact on Native communities. Overall, these factors combined led to a significant decline in Native populations during this period.

How many years elapsed between the first European encounter with native Americans and the first permanent European settlement what might account for this length of time?

The first European encounter with Native Americans occurred in 1492 when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Bahamas, while the first permanent European settlement, St. Augustine, was established by the Spanish in 1565. This represents a span of 73 years. Several factors contributed to this lengthy interval, including the challenges of exploration, the need for military and logistical support, the search for profitable resources, and the complex interactions with indigenous populations that often led to conflict and negotiation.
