White settlers introduced several Infectious Diseases to Native Americans, including smallpox, measles, influenza, and tuberculosis. These diseases devastated indigenous populations, who had no prior exposure and thus lacked immunity. The resulting epidemics contributed to significant population declines and social disruption among Native American communities. This tragic impact was compounded by the violent displacement and colonization efforts of settlers.
