What is meant by the Columbian Exchange? Who was affected the most by the exchange? The Columbian exchange was meant for people to trade for the goods the Americans were overflowing with. They would trade slaves and goods either the Americans or the foreign countries didn’t have.

They would get sick and suffer from the diseases that were passed on from country to country. The Economy was inflated and there were murders of Natives.…
This video helps us understand a lot about the driving question and about the Columbian-American exchange. Both the Natives and Europeans needed stuff from each other and that is when the Columbian-American exchange started and that is also how it got its name.

one of the ways the printing press changed human communication was writers and explorers from across the world could now share new discoveries and prints. Document 6 is a good example of how it changed communication and exploration; it shows a letter Christopher Columbus sent describing that he had found new islands. After sending that letter, it was sent to Barcelona, Valladolid, Rome, Florence, Paris, and many other places around the world. This made many explorers decide to set sail to make new discoveries because they knew there was more land to be found. In the next document there's sequential images of maps drawn after Columbus's letter, and its clear more land was being found and more detail to rivers and mountains were recorded.…

1- The Columbian exchange changed the way we eat because now we have way more food possibilities. The new world and the old world food can now be combined to make even more possibilities. It changed the way we live in the aspect that it spread diseases. There is a lot of cereal in my house, without the Columbian exchange, perhaps that wouldn't be the case because a lot of cereal is derived from corn. Nutrition wise it can go either way (being healthy or not healthy). It all depends how one uses the food combination. I don't believe the planet could support that many people with out the Columbian Exchange. Reason being is because what if we only had a select group of food, and out of the select group of food (that…

Even though very important exchange processes occurred throughout world’s history, the Columbian Exchange is undeniably one of the most important exchange processes in history. Exchange between Europe and the Americas created multiple new cultures and transformed the existing ones. In Europe, the most influential settlers were the British, the Spanish and the French. These three countries were driven to the New World, the Americas, for three basic reasons: the desire to spread religion, the desire to expand the territory, and the desire for wealth.…

Although the Columbian Exchange was a time of negative issues such as the introduction of diseases and genocide, the positive factors of the Columbian Exchange were more important.
