question 2 of 10
an effect of the columbian exchange on both africa and europe was:
a. that it decreased internal conflict.
b. that it improved diets from new food sources.
c. that it decreased political power.
d. that it exposure to new diseases.

Explanation:

The Columbian Exchange involved the transfer of plants, animals, and food between the New World (the Americas) and the Old World (Europe, Africa, and Asia). New food sources like potatoes (from the Americas) had a positive impact on diets in both Africa and Europe. For example, potatoes became an important staple in Europe, providing more calories and nutrition. Internal conflict often increased due to competition over new resources or changes in power dynamics related to trade. Political power could shift but not necessarily decrease. While there were disease transfers (like smallpox from Europe to the Americas), the major disease impact on Africa and Europe in terms of new diseases from the Columbian Exchange was not as significant as the positive dietary change from new food sources.

Answer:

B. That it improved diets from new food sources.
