There are many reasons why diseases spread so rapidly. It is simply because the diseases were present. How is the more interesting question. The Native Americans had built up immunities to diseases and viruses that infected people in the Americas. They had never been exposed to anything from Britain, Spain, France, etc. etc. The body is unable to protect itself against new bacteria in the system. Especially if the bacteria is introduced that quickly. For example, (something you can relate to) say you get the common cold every two weeks. Slowly, your body starts to fight off symptoms of the cold. First the sneezing, then the runny nose, next the watery eyes, and finally the coughing. You still get the cold every two weeks but is not nearly as bad. But, let's say you get the stomach flu. Your immunity to the common cold will do nothing to help you with the stomach flu you now have.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>          The Sultanate of Bengal (Bengali: শাহী বাংলা, Persian: شاهی بنگاله‎ Shāhī Bangālah), also known as the Bengal Sultanate or simply Bengal (Persian: بنگاله‎ Bangālah, Bengali: বাংলা, romanized: Bangla),[2] was an empire[3][4][5] based in Bengal for much of the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. It was the dominant power of the Ganges–Brahmaputra Delta, with a network of mint towns spread across the region. The Bengal Sultanate had a circle of vassal states, including Odisha in the southwest, Arakan in the southeast,[6] and Tripura in the east.[7] In the early 16th-century, the Bengal Sultanate reached the peak of its territorial growth with control over Kamrup and Kamata in the northeast and Jaunpur and Bihar in the west. It was reputed as a thriving trading nation and one of Asia's strongest states. Its decline began with an interregnum by the Suri Empire, followed by Mughal conquest and disintegration into petty kingdoms.</em>
