= The Columbian Exchange  =

==== The Columbian Exchange was both good and bad for everyone. When Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahamas it really didn’t help the Native Americans as much as it helped the old world, the old world meaning Europe, Asia, and Africa. ====

==== The old world was running out of land, so when Columbus found more land it was like you finding exactly what you wanted on Christmas morning for the Europeans.The Europeans not only brought people to the new world, but they also brought many diseases, Diseases such as influenza, leprosy, chicken pox, malaria, measles, and scarlet fever. The Columbian Exchange also brought new food, crops, animals, religions, and writings to the new world. ====

==== The new world brought many things that we benefited and still benefit from; it also brought things that we don’t benefit from. So when we look at all of the effects of the Columbian exchange we have to ask ourselves one question, What would it change if we just recently discovered the Americas in 2011? Would it be the same world? I really doubt it. ====
