Group of answer choices.

A. Huge numbers of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

B. Indigenous peoples embraced the Catholic Church and became its most powerful leaders.

C. American empires became more powerful than ever by using European weapons.

D. Violence committed by Christians led many indigenous peoples to become devout Muslims

Answer:

A. Huge numbers of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

Explanation:

Christopher Columbus was a very popular Italian voyager, navigator and explorer who completed four voyages (1492–93, 1493–96, 1498–1500, and 1502–04 respectively) across the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus was born to a wool merchant in 1451 in Genoa, Italy and he died 20th of May, 1506 in Valladolid, Spain. ​

Columbus wanted to reach Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In his thinking, he thought going through that route (Atlantic Ocean) was a more direct way to get to Asia by water.

On a related note, the Columbian Exchange was named after the very popular voyager and explorer, Christopher Columbus. Columbian Exchange is also referred to as the Columbian Interchange and typically involved the widespread movement of commodities, plants, technology, cultures, diseases, people and animals across West Africa, the Atlantic, America and the Old world (Europe, Asia, and Africa) as far back as in the 15th and 16th century.

The most likely impact of the Columbian Exchange was the transfer of diseases, ideas, and livestock from Europe to the Americas.

Some examples of the animals transferred from Europe to the Americas are goats, sheep, cattle, chickens, rats and pigs. The diseases transferred from Europe to the Americas, for which they had no immunity include typhoid, cholera measles, and smallpox.

Hence, an important effect of the columbian exchange on the indigenous people in the Americas was that, a huge number of indigenous peoples were wiped out by European diseases.

Explain the three heads of the political party in the expression a three-headed political giant
UNO [17]
The first head is the party in the electorate. This is who the supporters of your party are. They don't have to be actual members of the party, it's enough that they publicly speak that they support you and will vote for you and this is a huge amount of voters because these are the common people who don't deal with politics.

The second head is the party as an organization. This is the classic company like organization with staff, headquarters, laws and legislation, taxes, and similar things. The goal of the organization is to win the elections and they help on a state, national, and local level with things like campaigning and other important aspects of politics.

The third head is the party in government. These are party members who are members of the congress and although they may disagree with some party policies, they are in general the spokespeople for their party and represent it and its values. They are the people who vote on legislation and the budget and similar things.
