The Beothuk, an Indigenous people of Newfoundland, faced significant decline in the 16th century primarily due to European colonization and the subsequent introduction of diseases, such as smallpox, to which they had no immunity. Additionally, competition for resources, conflicts with European settlers, and the encroachment of fishing and hunting activities severely impacted their population. The combination of these factors led to their eventual extinction by the early 19th century.
