Detailed explanation-1: -When the Europeans arrived, carrying germs which thrived in dense, semi-urban populations, the indigenous people of the Americas were effectively doomed. They had never experienced smallpox, measles or flu before, and the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Europeans carried a hidden enemy to the Indians: new diseases. Native peoples of America had no immunity to the diseases that European explorers and colonists brought with them. Diseases such as smallpox, influenza, measles, and even chicken pox proved deadly to American Indians.
Detailed explanation-3: -Diseases like smallpox, measles, typhus, and cholera quickly spread and depleted Native American populations. The disease spread quickly because Native Americans were not immune to these diseases. As a result, up to 95% of the indigenous population in the Americas died.
Detailed explanation-4: -European settlers brought these new diseases with them when they settled, and the illnesses decimated the Native Americans-by some estimates killing as much as 90 percent of their population.
