The Great Zimbabwe was a country on the territory of where the modern day nation of Zimbabwe is located. It had access to the Indian Ocean and a great strategic location, especially when it came to trade, as it was an important place in the trade routes on the ocean.
The people of Zimbabwe had a strong economy, and it was largely based on trading, cattle, and crops.
Three very important and very profitable things that the people of Zimbabwe traded were the ivory, gold, and copper. All three being in abundance on their territory, or in the territories in close proximity, and all of them being in high demand and being very well paid for.
A. Spanish conquistadors bring their horses with them across the Atlantic. Some horses escape or swim to shore after a ship sinks. The Plains Indians become expert horsemen and buffalo hunters.
This was certainly not intentional since hardly the conquistadors would want their enemies to be stronger.
B. B. Rats are aboard European ships coming to the Americas. The rats spread disease and hunt unknown numbers of smaller animals to extinction.
This is hardly intentional. Rats were almost unavoidable back then and the Europeans just did not care much about them. They weren't thinking about how the rats would cause trouble in the Americas. They were "just rats".

Given textual and archaeological evidence, it is thought that thousands of Europeans lived in Imperial China during the period of Mongol rule.[1] These were people from countries traditionally belonging to the lands of Christendom during the High to Late Middle Ages who visited, traded, performed Christian missionary work, or lived in China. This occurred primarily during the second half of the 13th century and the first half of the 14th century, coinciding with the rule of the Mongol Empire, which ruled over a large part of Eurasia and connected Europe with their Chinese dominion of the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368).[2] Whereas the Byzantine Empire centered in Greece and Anatolia maintained rare incidences of correspondence with the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties of China, the Roman papacy sent several missionaries and embassies to the early Mongol Empire as well as to Khanbaliq (modern Beijing), the capital of the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty. These contacts with the West were preceded by rare interactions between the Han-period Chinese and Hellenistic Greeks and Romans.
