The Columbian Exchange

Western Hemisphere (New World) Eastern Hemisphere (Old World)

The Columbian Exchange Columbus’ voyages May have had greater consequences biologically than culturally The Columbian Exchange was coined to describe the worldwide redistribution of plants, animals, and diseases that resulted from the initial contacts between Europeans and Natives.

Impact of Columbian Exchange Exchanged food, plants, and animals during colonization.

What was the Effect of the Columbian Exchange? a. Both hemispheres were introduced to new foods and animals that changed entire societies. b. Potatoes and corn became major food sources for Europeans allowing populations to increase greatly. c. The introduction of pigs, cows, and horses gave new food sources and new animals for the Native Americans to use.

What was the Effect of the Columbian Exchange? d. The diseases the Europeans brought with them killed up to 90% of the Native Americans in the New World. European conquest of the Native Americans was made easy by the effect disease had on the Natives. e. The Native Americans had never been exposed to these diseases so their bodies could not fight them. Europeans had lived with these diseases for thousands of year and were not as likely to die from them.
