The exchange between living organisms from the west to the non western world started with Christopher Columbus. In 1492 he set sail in order to reach China or Japan through the Atlantic Ocean.

The pros of the columbian exchange do outweigh the cons for me. Without the columbian exchange‚ I probably wouldn’t be here. My dad’s part of the family is from Italy and Ireland and my mom’s side is from Ireland and Sweden mostly. The Columbian exchange made a big impact on my life and basically made my life.

The Columbian American exchange was a monumental turning point in time and I feel like the idea of this project was better than the actual outcome for my group. Our group contact was very helpful and I like how we were able to spend quite a bit of time making sure we had everything organized. Recording our process and next steps made the whole project move along as smooth as possible.

Overall the Columbian exchange is an unbalanced system‚ in which Native Americans were more greatly impacted. Afro-Eurasians provided cattle and horses (which produced war and famine)‚ weeds (which destroyed natural flora and fauna)‚ diseases (which decimated ninety percent of the population) and slavery (which introduced racial discrimination); and in turn the Americas provided silver (which enabled Spain to become a global superpower)‚ corn and potatoes (which re-shaped the Afro-Eurasian diet)
