TheEuropeans brought to the New World plenty of diseases. They led to complete
extinction of several groups of people and caused suffering to others. Many
domestic animals were infected as well. During the first two centuries of
contact, Native Americans died from smallpox, measles, bubonic plague and
influenza, as they did not have immunoprotection. However, colonists considered
diseases to be God’s will.
