the native Americans have no immunity to the disease so when the europeans that had it came over they spreaded it real fast.
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.
The European slave traders brought slaves to the New World from Africa. So many native Americans had died of smallpox that they couldn't be used for labor.
To work. Due to the Great Dying there was a very small indigenous population, especially in the Caribbean, which is where most New World plantations were located. Most common plantations in the New World were sugar plantations.
The Columbian Exchange significantly impacted both the New World and Old World populations through the transfer of crops, livestock, and diseases. In the New World, the introduction of European livestock and crops like wheat and sugarcane increased food production but also brought diseases such as smallpox, which devastated Indigenous populations. Conversely, the Old World benefited from New World crops like potatoes and maize, which contributed to population growth but also faced challenges from new diseases. Overall, the exchange led to demographic shifts and profound changes in agriculture and health in both regions.
I don't know what the Spanish SPECIFICALLY brought to the Americas, but I think it's a mixture of these diseases (some of them might be from the French and Anglo-Americans too, so beware) : chicken pox, smallpox, measles, STD's, diphtheria, mumps, typhus, influenza, cholera, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and malaria.

The diseases that the Europeans brought to the Caribbean were chicken pox, typhoid, bubonic plague, smallpox, measles, influenza and many more. Before, the native people didnâ??t know anything about these diseases thatâ??s why they did not have any immunity to these kinds of diseases.
