ANSWER:

The Columbian Exchange

• Columbian Exchange—movement of living things between hemispheres

• Exchange began after Columbus' voyages to Americas

- Europeans shipped corn, potatoes, pineapples from America

- brought domestic animals (horses), diseases (smallpox, measles)

• Native Americans had no resistance to diseases; 20 million died

Changing International Trade Patterns

• Columbian Exchange changed world trade patterns

• Much world trade fueled by Spainʼs silver mining in South America

- silver moved from Americas to Europe, then to China

- Chinese goods (silk, porcelain), Indian spices returned to Europe

• Triangular trade—Europe, Americas, Africa exchanged goods, slaves

- enslaved Africans worked in West Indies; sugar cane sent to Europe

The Spread of Culture

• Ideas, culture exchanged between continents along with goods

• Spain, Portugal spread Christianity; explorers converted natives

- converted Christians blended new religion with traditional beliefs

• Europeans blended cultural practices imported from other lands
