Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Columbus forced indigenous people into slavery, killed large numbers of their populations, and caused the spread of disease, which also impacted their populations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The impact was most severe in the Caribbean, where by 1600 Native American populations on most islands had plummeted by more than 99 percent. Across the Americas, populations fell by 50 percent to 95 percent by 1650. The disease component of the Columbian Exchange was decidedly one-sided.
