GPT-4o mini
The Columbian Exchange refers to the extensive transfer of plants, animals, crops, people, cultures, diseases, and ideas between the Americas and the Old World (Europe, Africa, and Asia) that began in the late 15th century following Christopher Columbus's voyages. This exchange led to significant agricultural and cultural shifts on both sides of the Atlantic, as new crops like potatoes and maize were introduced to Europe, while livestock such as horses and cattle were brought to the Americas. Additionally, the exchange had profound consequences, including the spread of diseases that devastated Indigenous populations in the Americas.
