The one notable New World disease that was transferred to Afro-Eurasia during the Columbian Exchange was syphilis. It is believed to have spread through sailors returning from the Americas to Europe in the late 15th century, leading to outbreaks in various parts of Europe. The disease was characterized by its rapid transmission through sexual contact and became widespread, causing significant public health concerns in the years that followed.
People say that the Columbian Exchange occurred but it really didn't benefit the people of the New World very much.
europeans took advantage of native american societies weakend by disease
The Columbian Exchange was an exchange of goods between the Old World(Europe) and New World(the Americas). From Europe to the America's: Banana's, chickens, lemons, oranges, rice, coffee, lettuce, etc. From the America's to Europe: Corn, cotton, bell peppers, pumpkins, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sunflowers, turkeys, etc.
Colombian Exchange is when they have a trade and one side gets good food and the other side gets smallpox. Smallpox is a disease but they did not know that they were getting a disease and neither did the people that were bringing it.
The Columbian Exchange was not fair, as it disproportionately benefited European powers while severely disadvantaging Indigenous populations in the Americas. European nations gained wealth and resources, while Indigenous peoples faced exploitation, disease, and loss of land, leading to significant population decline and cultural disruption. This exchange facilitated the spread of colonialism and often resulted in violence and oppression against native populations. Thus, the benefits of the exchange were unevenly distributed, favoring colonizers over the original inhabitants of the Americas.
