Brief explanation: The Columbian Exchange transferred crops (potatoes, maize to Europe; wheat, sugar to the Americas), animals (horses, cattle to the New World), diseases (smallpox devastated Indigenous populations), and peoples (European colonists and African slaves). These movements reshaped diets, economies, populations, social systems, and cultures in both the Old and New Worlds.
