There were no benefits to the Native Americans. By allowing Europeans to gain a foothold, they inadvertently invited disaster. THe Europeans claimed there would be benefits for the Native Americans, such as guns they could use for hunting or fighting. In reality, however, there were no advantages. The few who weren't wiped out by disease that Europeans brought were killed during wars to drive out the colonists, or were driven further and further west and away from their homes.

When did the European Explorers first arrive in America?

This is a disputed answer. Some say the first European explorers to reach America were the Vikings, with Leif Erickson being the first of them. However, the settlement he founded in about the year 1000 AD in what the vikings called Vinland, and was probably on the coast of modern Newfoundland, Canada, lasted only a short time and the Vikings did not follow-up with further exploration and settlement. Erikson's exploration and settlement had little effect on Europe and none that we know of on America. The European exploration and settlement of America that had a lasting effect on both Europe and America was that which followed the exploratory journey of Christopher Columbus (called ChristoffaCorombo in his native Genoa and Cristóbal Colón in Spain) in the year 1492, some 500 years after Leif Erikson.

How would the US be different today if the Jamestown settlement disappeared like the Roanoke settlement?

If the Jamestown settlement disappeared like the Roanoke settlement, the early English attempts to establish a permanent colony in America would have likely failed, impacting the future colonization efforts in the region. The absence of Jamestown could have altered the balance of power in North America, potentially leading to different European nations dominating different regions. This could have drastically changed the course of American history, including the trajectory of European settlement, Native American interactions, and ultimately the formation of the United States.
