Answer:
The Columbian Exchange happened before soccer was invented in England because the Columbian Exchange started happening from 1492 while soccer was invented in England in the 1800s.
Explanation:
The process by which commodities, people, and diseases crossed the Atlantic is known as the Columbian Exchange. This is because it was Christopher Columbia who first introduced horses, sugar plants, and disease to the New World (Americas), while facilitating the introduction of New World commodities like sugar, tobacco, chocolate, and potatoes to the Old World (Europe) and West Africa. It was also known as the Columbian Interchange. This term was coined by Alfred W. Crosby Jr. who was a Professor of History, Geography, and American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, Harvard University, and University of Helsinki. He also authored a book named Columbian Exchange, 1972.
While there have been claims and counterclaims about the origin of football, the modern football sport is known to have originated in England. Some form of the game was played in China in the 1400s. Romans (Italy) also claimed to have originated football. But, some evidence show that it was copied from England.
