The Columbian Exchange significantly impacted Europe by introducing new crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and maize, which improved nutrition and contributed to population growth. It also facilitated the exchange of livestock and diseases, with European settlers bringing smallpox and other illnesses that devastated Indigenous populations in the Americas. Additionally, the influx of precious metals like silver from the New World boosted European economies and fueled trade, ultimately leading to shifts in power dynamics and colonial expansion. Overall, the Columbian Exchange transformed European society, economy, and global interactions.
