Detailed explanation-1: -The Old World-by which we mean not just Europe, but the entire Eastern Hemisphere-gained from the Columbian Exchange in a number of ways. Discov-eries of new supplies of metals are perhaps the best known. But the Old World also gained new staple crops, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, maize, and cassava.
Detailed explanation-2: -The New World introduced the Eastern Hemisphere to vanilla, tobacco, beans, cacao (which can be harvested to make chocolate), pumpkins, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, pepper, avocados, and peanuts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Horses had actually originated in America, spread to the Eastern Hemisphere over the land bridge, and then became extinct in their homeland.
Detailed explanation-4: -They included such plants as tomatoes, squash, pineapples, tobacco, and cacao beans (for chocolate). And they included animals such as the turkey, which became a source of food in the Eastern Hemisphere. Perhaps the most important items to travel from the Americas to the rest of the world were corn and potatoes.
