Question

the forced assimilation of German culture by the native populations
B.
the death of 80 - 90% of the native populations due to European diseases
C.
the establishment of the Columbian Exchange
D.
the use of African slave labor on plantations

Answer 1

A

European colonization imposed mainly Spanish and Portuguese (and other Western European) culture, not a forced assimilation of German culture. The other choices (massive native deaths from disease, the Columbian Exchange, and use of African slave labor) were direct results.
