The Old World brought several diseases to the New World, most notably smallpox, measles, and influenza. These diseases had devastating effects on Indigenous populations, who lacked immunity to them. The arrival of these pathogens contributed significantly to the decline of Native American societies following European colonization. Smallpox, in particular, is estimated to have killed millions of people in the Americas.

What is The term given to the system of trade between the old world and the new world?

It is sometimes called the Columbian Exchange. But most of the items went from the Old World to the New. The Old World sent cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and horses. They also sent rye, wheat and barley. The New world sent corn. The Old World sent many diseases that the New had never seen before and those killed hundreds of thousands. The worst was Small Pox. The only disease that came from the New world was syphilis. Because of the diseases the Old World sent, there were not many natives left to fight for their land.
