The Great Dying Exacerbated by Indigenous value of community (1 ene 1520 año – 1 ene 1700 año)
Descripción:
Because many Indigenous tribes valued community, they did not isolate or quarantine infected tribal members, which aided the spread of infectious disease.
Europeans spread diseases like measles, smallpox, influenza, and the bubonic plague, which ravaged Indigenous populations and livestock because they lacked natural immunity. Indigenous peoples were decimated as a result of colonization. The Indigenous population was reduced to a mere 6 million people over the next two centuries in an event known as the Great Dying.
