The Columbian exchange has shaped the world to what it is today with the exchange of goods from the Old World to the New World, and vice versa. The Columbian exchange caused numerous short and long-term effects in the Americas and many other parts of the world. The short-term effects of the Columbian exchange included the outbreak of disease, which led to a sudden drop in the population of the indigenous peoples.
In conclusion, the Columbian Exchange brought about the greatest interchange of different people, ideas, plants, and animals that has ever been known in the history of the world. Although many Americans still celebrate Columbus Day, it is widely argued as to whether or not there should be such a holiday, as the results of the Columbian Exchange could be considered both good and bad. Some positive effects, like the agricultural growth and use of the potato and other staple crops in the Old World enhanced people's lives.
