European contact and settlement in America had impacts, mostly negative, among these are a large number of diseases brought by Europeans because of many natives dying because they had no immunity to these diseases.

Other effects were the occupation of the most productive lands and the expulsion of native tribes from their territory, which caused wars between natives and Europeans.
