The Age of Exploration and the Columbian Exchange led to significant cultural exchange between the Old and New Worlds. This exchange involved the transfer of crops, livestock, ideas, and technologies. The introduction of corn and potatoes to Europe revolutionized diets, while Europe introduced cattle and grains to the Americas. This process had profound impacts on both societies, affecting populations, economies, and cultures. It is marked by both positive advancements, such as agricultural boost, and negative consequences, such as the devastating spread of diseases among Indigenous populations.
