AP US History
Unit 1 – Interactions North America, 1491–1607
Topic 1.2
How could the outcome of the Columbian Exchange have differed if disease hadn't decimated large portions of native populations?
European settlers would have been unable to establish colonies due to lack of land availability.
There would be no significant change in population dynamics or cultural retention.
Greater proportions of indigenous cultures would remain, potentially leading to different power dynamics with colonizing Europeans.
Trade would not have occurred between Europe and the Americas without disease as a catalyst.
