A long term benefit of the Columbian Exchange was an improvement in the diet of the people of Europe. With the introduction of potatoes and corn, people in Europe lived longer; fewer women died in child birth, and fewer children died of early childhood diseases. The end result was a marked increase in the European population.
The end result was a decided improvement in the diet of most Europeans as well as a decline in the overall cost of food. Europeans tended to live longer after the exchange, fewer children died in infancy, and there was a resultant explosion in the population.

    Dbq Columbian Exchange Analysis

    Positive aspects can be seen in document 1, where it states that “Easy to grow and store potatoes helped feed Europe's rapidly growing population.” Without using potatoes from the Americas many of the Europeans would have died. And the transport of potatoes wouldn't have happened without the Colombian Exchange. However, the Europeans would have been likely to adapt without the potatoes. Therefore, the lives lost overweight this problem. More evidence that the Colombian Exchange had some positive aspects come from Document 2, where it explains that the crop, cassava from the Colombian exchange helped feed parts of Africa, “In the leached soils of West and Central Africa, cassava became an indispensable crop. Today some 200 million Africans rely on it as their main source of nutrition.” This is a positive aspect because it allowed 600 million people to have a better source nutrients. Also this crop had such a major impact that it effected Africa in the long term. However many Africans were enslaved and discriminated against.

    The Columbian Exchange: An Analysis

    The “Columbian Exchange” was derived in 1492 by historian, Alfred Crosby. That phrase connects the relationship between animals, plants, and diseases between the time span of the Old World and the arrival of Columbus in the Caribbean in 1492 (Schultz, 2014). The Columbian Exchange is important for a number of reasons. It gives background of why Africans were sold into slavery, why Indian nations dismantled, and why European nations became one of the most financial stable nations in the world, and that’s just to name a few of key components to the Columbian Exchange.…

    Columbian Exchange

    The Colombian Exchange’s forward approach included the exchange of new foods, animals, and resources between Europe, the Americas, and Africa. However, there was an indirect exchange of diseases, weapons, ideas, and people. This process had both positive and negative side effects. The Colombian Exchange resulted in an overall definite benefit compared to its costs. These benefits would include the sugar production, a financial silver income, the impact of nutritious foods and plants, and the Amerindian demographic catastrophe was not as bad as it seems.…

    Columbian Exchange Research Paper

    1- The Columbian exchange changed the way we eat because now we have way more food possibilities. The new world and the old world food can now be combined to make even more possibilities. It changed the way we live in the aspect that it spread diseases. There is a lot of cereal in my house, without the Columbian exchange, perhaps that wouldn't be the case because a lot of cereal is derived from corn. Nutrition wise it can go either way (being healthy or not healthy). It all depends how one uses the food combination. I don't believe the planet could support that many people with out the Columbian Exchange. Reason being is because what if we only had a select group of food, and out of the select group of food (that…

    Columbian Exchange Significance

    Christopher Columbus initiated the Columbian Exchange, a rapid and fast paced trade of plants, animals, new technologies, and knowledge from the Old World to the New World and vice versa. The agricultural importance of the Columbian Exchange is significant because it brought important goods such as food and animals to each place of the country. Historian Alfred Crosby describes the significance of the transfer of food crops between the continents by writing: “The coming together of the continents was a prerequisite for the population explosion of the past two centuries, and certainly played an important role in the Industrial Revolution. The transfer across the ocean of the staple food crops of the Old and New Worlds made possible the former.” With the transfer of food crops across continents, from the Old World and the New World and vice versa, the Modern Age was ushered in and agriculturally, Europe and presently known America was on the course of changing its history by adding a larger variety of cattle and vegetables/fruits to its…
