Answer:

The Columbian exchange, also known as the Columbian interchange, named after Christopher Columbus, was the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology, diseases, and ideas between the Americas, West Africa, and the Old World in the 15th and 16th centuries.The impact was most severe in the Caribbean, where by 1600 Native American populations on most islands had plummeted by more than 99 percent. Across the Americas, populations fell by 50 percent to 95 percent by 1650. The disease component of the Columbian Exchange was decidedly one-sided.

Where does china's barriers lead to?

NeX [460]

Answer:

isolation

Explanation:

China was one of the first civilizations in the world. This civilization, unlike the others, was actually very isolated from the rest of the ancient civilizations. The main reason for the isolation were the natural barriers. Between China and the other civilizations were standing the largest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas, and several large deserts. This discouraged people both from China and from the other civilizations from moving through this areas and see what's on the other side. This resulted in developing a very unique culture in China that was not influenced by any other culture. Also, this civilization was developing totally independently, and it actually managed to surpass the other civilizations in many aspects, while they were not even aware of its existence, or just knew that it existed but had no real idea about it. China only opened up properly to the world after it was invaded and ruled by the Mongols.
