Question

Why did the Amerindian population drastically decrease after the arrival of the Spanish, and what was the result of the loss of so many slaves?

Answer 1

Answer:

∆ While epidemic disease was a leading factor of the population decline of the American indigenous peoples after 1492, there were other contributing factors, all of them related to European contact and colonization. One of these factors was warfare.

∆ European colonizers killed so many indigenous Americans that the planet cooled down, a group of researchers concluded. Following Christopher Columbus' arrival in North America in 1492, violence and disease killed 90% of the indigenous population — nearly 55 million people — according to a study published this year.
