Answer:

The spread of disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spread of illnesses was maybe the most dramatic and immediate result of the Columbian Exchange. The consequence was devastating in locations where the native population had no or little resistance, particularly in the Americas. Indigenous people thrived in North and South America prior to contact.
