|
Answer» The arrival of Europeans had a great effect on the original inhabitants of America. When the natives came into contact with the Europeans, it proved quite harmful to them. The Europeans not only displaced the natives from their territories but also destroyed their culture, lifestyle, cuisine, thoughts and behaviour, religious faith etc. The Europeans brought with them many diseases like chicken pox, small pox, influenza, bubonic plague etc. which infected the nativ 2 population and their numbers declined rapidly. Wars, violence, exploitation, killings;, displacement, disintegration and massacres left the natives in a minority. The natives were forced to live in a very small territory. The Europeans separated the natives from the whitte settlements. In this way, due to the mental and physical cruelties perpetrated by the Europeans, the natives of America reached the verge of extinction. |
