The Columbian Exchange affected both the New World and the Old World, both positively and negatively. For example, people exchanged knowledge and technical advancements which helped those who did not have that information. But the "exchange" also, unwittingly, transferred diseases, plant diseases, animal diseases, etc. Many countries STILL fight problems of animals and plants that were brought to their countries and overcame plants and animals native to those areas.

What solvents must be used if the substance won't dissolve?
This question is a bit vague, but I will do my best to help clarify. In describing solubility of certain solutes, it is important to remember that "like dissolves like". This means that polar solvents will dissolves polar solutes. A polar substance is one who has a partial charge in one direction of the molecule. So a polar solute, like ammonia (NH3) will dissolve readily is a polar solvent, like water (H2O). Likewise, non-polar solutes will dissolve in non-polar solvents.
So if the substance won't dissolve in what you are trying to dissolve it in, use a solvent with the opposite polarity.

Could we grow chocolate in our home countries?
That would depend on the climate of your home countries. Probably the best way to help you is to tell you what climate Chocolate or "Cocoa" needs to grow and fruit. The Cocoa tree is native to the deep tropical regions of Central and South America, the tree grows as understory plant in humid tropical forest ecosystems. Thus if your home countries have this sort of climate then you could grow chocolate. However, in our modern world it is likely that if chocolate could be grown somewhere successfully, it would be cultivated there by now.
