The Columbian Exchange was an exchange between the Americas and Europe. It all started when Columbus went to America in the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria over the Atlantic to originally find a way to Asia faster but found himself in America. He thought he was in India when he landed so he called the people there Indies. He brought back many things when he went back to Spain. He brought back slaves, flowers, animals, new ways of life, and things that the 'Indies' believed in.
When he got there the people greeted him. He soon began giving the people diseases and killing them for their rich land. His new goal was to take the land for himself and to bring it back for Spain. He did wrong to the people of the Americas by taking them back as prizes to show what he had done. The diseases that his body was immune to, they were not. They died of many diseases, and their people were enslaved.
The good things that came out of the exchange was that was the cultural diffusion and the food that went across the Atlantic. The medicine that went to the English. The new land that Europe earned. The Americans didn't earn very much.
