Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -When the Europeans arrived they brought with them diseases unknown to the natives. The natives, having no immunity died from diseases that the Europeans thought of as commonplace. They also brought guns, alcohol and horses. The effect of these was to change the way of life for the Native Americans.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first lasting contact between indigenous Americans and Europeans came as Arawak, Taino, and Lucayan peoples encountered the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and his Spanish ships.
