A) The importation of slaves from Africa

The deaths of much of the Indian population in South America, primarily due to disease and harsh treatment following European contact, led to a significant labor shortage. As a result, European colonizers turned increasingly to the importation of African slaves to meet their labor needs, making this the most important result of the demographic collapse.
