Europeans dominated other lands. What effect did this have on the citizens of those European countries ?

Answer:

I think these people had to withstand European disease, and nearly half of their population died because of smallpox, influenza, measles, and chicken pox. A good effect might have been that these people learned how to use European weapons ( like guns) which helped them better hunt and protect themselves. Nutrition was also changed because of the European dominance .

Explanation:. The conquest brought more different foods into the lives of the natives, which made them a bit healthier and able to live longer.

Cultures shifted to more European backgrounds, and languages were taught that they would not have otherwise known (A lot of African countries speak French, for example).
