Columbus exchange influence

Columbus communication refers to the large-scale communication of culture, race, animals and plants between Europe and America after Columbus discovered the new continent in 1492. This incident has had a profound impact on world history, and the specific effects are as follows:

Cultural influence: Europeans brought religions, languages, customs, arts and other cultures to the United States, and Americans also spread their own cultures to Europe. This cultural exchange has had an important impact on the formation and development of American culture.

Racial influence: With the large-scale immigration of Europeans to the United States, the indigenous population in the United States has gradually decreased. At the same time, Europeans also brought Africans to America as slaves, and the descendants of these Africans gradually formed a black group in America.

Animal and plant influence: Europeans brought some crops and livestock that are common in Europe to America, such as wheat, horses, cattle and sheep. Similarly, the United States also brought corn, potatoes, chocolate, tomatoes and other crops to Europe. The introduction of these species has had a profound impact on global agricultural production and food culture.

Disease effects: germs brought to America by Europeans, such as measles, smallpox, influenza, etc. , has threatened the lives of Native Americans, resulting in a large population decline. This event is also a famous germ exchange event in history.

Generally speaking, the Columbus Exchange is a very important event in the global history, which broke the long-term isolation between Eurasia and America, and also brought far-reaching cultural, racial and biological influences on a global scale.
