Actually, there weren’t any horses, domesticated or otherwise, in the Americas in 1492.
However, it is estimated that at high as 95% of pre-Columbian Native Americans were in fact killed off by disease, WHY? Because Europeans introduced new diseases to which the Native Americans hadnââ¬â¢t developed an immunity....
So germs are a two way street,,,why didn’t Europeans die from Indian germs in large numbers? Am I missing something? 95% seems inordinately high....
A few more.

I thought the French called for scalps so they knew how much to compensate their indian allies for kills.
