Answer: The Columbian Exchange is known for bringing in diseases to the New World from the Old World. Christopher Columbus would bring new items each time he returned to the New World. He would bring in potatoes, animals, sugar plants, and even horses. This helped the New World have economic growth. He also brought chocolate over during his trips. He would bring textiles for others to make clothing, rugs, etc. This allowed the goods to be shipped back and sold.
When they would cross the ocean with all of these new items for the colonists, diseases were also brought. These diseases were new to the people and many died. They were smallpox, chickenpox, mumps, and other diseases that took out whole populations of people.
Native Americans were happy when they were introduced to the horses and this helped them to hunt and gather much faster.

b. The development of diseases in the sixteenth century would support the arguments of the “new generation of historians in the second paragraph because the “new generation of historians” would look at this in relation to european imperialism and see the impact of the european diseases like smallpox that would plague places like modern day united states because of the european immunity, but lack of native immunity.
c. The “biological competition” contributed to the European imperialism in the Americas by creating a survival of the fittest environment where the europeans brought in diseases like smallpox that had plagued europe generations ago, but infected the native populations and weaken them in both their numbers and their strength, which enabled the Europeans to take control of the new world and develop a dominance while the natives were fighting a disease. This was “biological competition” because the Europeans' immunity was assisting them in fighting the natives' lack thereof.
