Explanation:
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.
Basically, the impact of the Columbian Exchange includes the transfer of ideas, livestock (animals), and diseases, from Europe to the Americas.
Additionally, 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 which resulted in the depopulation of the Americas.
However, the overall effect of the Columbian Exchange was an increased population growth worldwide i.e it had a great impact on people across the world by significantly transforming their lives.
