Detailed explanation-1: -Possibly the most dramatic, immediate impact of the Columbian Exchange was the spread of diseases. In places where the local population had no or little resistance, especially the Americas, the effect was horrific. Prior to contact, indigenous populations thrived across North and South America.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Columbian exchange caused inflation in Europe, change in hunting habits of Native Americans, change in farming habits within Europe, and a large decrease of Native American populations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many more breeds of horses, donkeys, cattle, goats and sheep were brought to America but the role of the horse in conquest, with new pastoral tribes, and in sheer economics for breeding and labor makes the horse the greatest influence in the Columbian Exchange.
Detailed explanation-4: -Horses were one of the first things traded in the Columbian exchange. They were used for a variety of reasons and really affected life in the Americas. Horses allowed Native Americans to travel to find food and other supplies. Horses also helped strengthen military power.
