The Great Dying (1 Jan 1520 Jahr – 31 Dez 1700 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Diseases, particularly those brought to the Americas by European explorers and settlers such as smallpox, measles, and influenza, had devastating effects on the indigenous populations who lacked immunity to these foreign pathogens. These disease outbreaks resulted in massive population declines among Native American societies, altering the demographic landscape of the Americas and indirectly facilitating European colonization.
