The Portuguese set many forts and factories when they explored Africa. They also were able to reach India through the Cape of Good Hope. They also created several naval outposts that linked Lisbon to Nagasaki to several other coast in the world. They also grew wealthy due to business work. The Dutch on the hand, wanted to take part in the spice trade while many Dutch farmers traveled to the interior. They were taxed too much but did not get any protection from African raids and set up their own governments in Swellendam and Graaf-Reinet.

Through good economic years and bad, many european economies had unemployment rates hovering near _________ since the 1970s.

xenn [34]

The correct answer is 10%.

Sometimes these numbers were higher, sometimes they were lower, but in general, good economic years hovered around 10% which was not so bad for the society since it's impossible to reduce it to 0% and it is also easy for it to go way over 10%, so the 10% mark was acceptable for numerous countries in Europe.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

How did contact between the Western Hemisphere and Europe change through the exchange of plants, animals, and pathogens?

This type of contact indeed revolutionized the relationship between European colonists and Native Americans, Mesoamerican Indians, and African slaves.

The term "Columbian Exchange" was coined by Alfred W. Crosby in 1972, when he referred to the exchange between the white Europeans, and the native people of America, basically regarding goods, plants, animals, and diseases.

During the times of the Columbian exchange, thousands of white Europeans came to America and Mesoamerica, the Caribbean Islands, and South America. After Spanish colonization, this vast region was known as New Spain. So Spaniards married Native Indians and Mestizos were born. English people decided to found colonies in North America.

During the Columbian Exchange and Triangular Trade, people were transported to the Americas, there was continuing trade, and also Europeans brought many diseases to the Americas that almost wipe out the entire population of Native Indians. We are talking about diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, malaria, cholera, or influenza.
