The arrival of Europeans in America had both negative and positive impacts on the natives. Negative impacts included enslavement, forced displacement, loss of land, and introduction of diseases. Positive impacts included new technologies, introduction of crops and animals, and access to trade networks. However, the overall impact was largely negative, as the native populations experienced significant loss of life, culture, and sovereignty.

How did the exploration and conquest of the Americas affect Europe?

Europeans had an extremely large impact on Native Americans, both in positive and negative ways. Negative ways are the most widely known and form the majority. Many Natives were killed either directly (through combat) or indirectly (through diseases). Their land was taken away from them and many of them were slaves or plantation workers. Most of them were also relocated across the Americas as well. All this has led to the incredible decline in the Native American population, which is why they are actually considered to be somewhat 'endangered'. Positive ways can also be found, however. Native Americans lived in tribes and these tribes had both allies and enemies. When Europeans came, not all were mean. The Spanish were destructive against the Natives, the French were friends with the Natives, and the British were just intermediate. The Europeans traded with the Natives and exposes the Natives to weapons, for example. This allowed the Natives to fight their enemies more destructively. Despite war being a terrible thing, this is actually considered a positive impact because it modernized the Natives. Also hidden in the previous statement was another positive impact: trade.

What were the negative and positive impacts the English had on the amerindians?

The aspects of English/Native interactions were mostly negative. The positive aspects would center around the points that new crops, and animals were brought to the colonies - new medicines as well. On the negative aspect disease (which wiped out most native people due to a lack of immunity to the diseases), alcohol ( native people had no tolerance for alcohol as it was not part of their diet), and the need to overwhelm and claim the land for the Europeans, therefore removing the native people, were the most troublesome points of the exchange. Weapons were not discussed due to the fact that while they improved hunting and protective opportunities for the Natives, they also improved the possibilities for death and wounding of the people.
