s An example of the impact European exploration had on American Indians populations.

Answer 2

The correct answer is An example of the impact European exploration had on American Indians populations.

The European exploration of the 15th and 16th centuries had a significant effect on the native population at this time. When arriving to the New World, Europeans carried diseases that native populations had never encountered before. Since the native populations never encountered these diseases before, they had no immunity to them. This resulted in hundreds of thousands of natives being killed by diseases from Europeans.
