Answer:
Smallpox has had a major impact on world history, not least because indigenous populations of regions where smallpox was non-native, such as the Americas and Australia, were rapidly decimated and weakened by smallpox. During the 18th century the disease killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year, including five reigning monarchs, and was responsible for a third of all blindness. After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the global eradication of smallpox in December 1979. Smallpox is one of two infectious diseases to have been eradicated.

Answer:
Saint-Domingue (Haiti) was prosperous because of revenue earned from sugar.
Explanation:
When the Europeans came to Haiti, the native people lived in a simple way and were relatively isolated from their surroundings, let alone the world. The Europeans though thought that this place has big potential, especially in farming. What the Europeans had on mind was to create large plantations with sugar cane, thus produce sugar and make a profit out of it.
While the Europeans were not many in number, and the native population was decimated, a lot of African slaves were brought as a labor force for the plantations. The wet tropical climate enabled high-scale production of sugar cane, and with sugar becoming increasingly popular and being paid well for, the Europeans earned a lot from the trade. Haiti actually became a very prosperous island, and that was strictly down to the production of sugar cane and sugar from it.
