The Columbian Exchange is described by historians as the aftereffects of Columbus’ first
contact with the inhabitants of the New World. As the name implies, a wide variety of plants,
animals, ideas and other resources were sent from the Old World to the New World and from
the New World to the Old World.

From the Old World to the New World came crops (wheat, sugar, coffee), livestock (horses,
cows, pigs) and diseases (smallpox, measles, the Black Death, scarlet fever).

From the New World to the Old World came mineral riches (gold, silver), crops (corn,
potatoes, tomatoes, vanilla, chocolate) and the disease syphilis.
