- Animals
- Imports to the Americas, like pigs, cows and
horses were revolutionary, since they reshaped
the New World, remade culture and food supply.

- Plants
- Corn, beans, potatoes, avocados,
peanuts, blueberries…these New
World crops led to probably the
greatest population increase in
history. Additionally, Europeans
brought over some crops that grow in
the Americas like wheat and grapes.

- Diseases
- Along with smallpox, Americans were killed by measles and
mumps, typhus, chicken pox. As a result of European arrival,
the main culprit of natives’ death was disease, as there was an
astonishing decrease of population, both psychologically and
demographically. Another effect was starvation, since there
weren’t enough people left to grow crops to feed the living and
the malnutrition made survivors much more susceptible.

of the Old World to grow and this led
the re-population of the New World.

- Culture
- The interaction of animals, plants, people, diseases,
and technology changed how societies functioned in
both the New World and Old World. Conversions to
Catholicism created issues within cultures between
the new believers and the old beliefs. The
introduction of Old World weaponry and technology,
influenced every society in the New World.

- Economics (Capitalism)
- If the Spanish discovered
interesting products, they
bought and traded with
them, to obtain market gain.
This process disrupted native
economies and stimulated
early commercial capitalism.

- Migration (btw Europe and America voluntary or forced)
- After 1492, the motivations for European migration to the Americas centered around the three G’s: God, gold, and
glory; as the colonizers had a desire to spread Christianity, to extract natural resources from the New World and
increase their nation’s status as a world power, by gaining military strength through colonization.
