The principal cause of death among American Indians after the arrival of European explorers and settlers was the introduction of new diseases, such as smallpox, influenza, and measles, to which Indigenous populations had little to no immunity. These epidemics decimated communities, often killing large percentages of the population. Additionally, violence from conflicts with settlers and the disruption of their traditional ways of life contributed to the decline of Native American populations.
