Answer and explanation;
-The Columbian Exchange brought new crops to Europe from the Americas, stimulating European population growth, and new sources of mineral wealth, which facilitated the European shift from feudalism to capitalism.
-The Columbian Exchange was the widespread transfer of animals, plants, disease, and culture between the Old World and the Americas around Columbus’s arrival in 1492. The Old World brought wheat, sugar, rice, coffee, horses, cows, pigs, and many diseases like smallpox, measles, bubonic plague, influenza, typhus, and scarlet fever.
-The New World brought corn, potatoes, pineapples, tomatoes, tobacco, beans, vanilla, and chocolate. The New World also brought diseases like syphilis. 90% of Native Americans perished due to the microbes. The Old World (European) population began growing rapidly.
-The New World’s plants like potatoes revolutionized the economy, as well as the Europeans. Some of the main minerals the Americas provided was gold and silver. Trade caused the shift from feudalism to capitalism
