Detailed explanation-1: -Causes of the Columbian Exchange The exchange of goods across the Atlantic began following Europe’s conquest of the Americas and the construction of European-controlled societies and economies. The Columbian Exchange resulted from Europeans’ exploration, conquest, and settlement of the Americas.
Detailed explanation-2: -It led to massive population growth and increasing urbanization. The Columbian Exchange completely changed the face of the world. Patterns of production and distribution shifted, as millions of people moved from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas, both willingly and forcibly.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Columbian Exchange caused population growth in Europe by bringing new crops from the Americas and started Europe’s economic shift towards capitalism. Colonization disrupted ecosytems, bringing in new organisms like pigs, while completely eliminating others like beavers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The exchange introduced a wide range of new calorically rich staple crops to the Old World-namely potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, and cassava. The primary benefit of the New World staples was that they could be grown in Old World climates that were unsuitable for the cultivation of Old World staples.
