To answer this question, we need to analyze each statement and determine if it accurately reflects the results of European exploration during the Age of Discovery.
1. New foods and resources were brought back to European markets.
This statement is correct. European explorers discovered new lands during the Age of Discovery, which led to the introduction of various foods and resources to European markets. Examples include potatoes, tomatoes, cocoa, and tobacco, among others.
2. The indigenous peoples of America transmitted smallpox to European explorers.
This statement is partially correct. In the encounters between European explorers and the indigenous peoples of the Americas, diseases such as smallpox did transmit from the indigenous peoples to the Europeans. However, it is important to note that European diseases, including smallpox, had a far greater impact on the indigenous populations, leading to devastating consequences such as widespread death and population decline.
3. Many of the indigenous peoples of newly discovered lands were killed.
This statement is correct. The arrival of European explorers often resulted in violent clashes and conflicts with the indigenous peoples of newly discovered lands. Many indigenous populations experienced decimation and displacement due to warfare, diseases, enslavement, and colonization.
4. Europeans adopted American Indian religious customs into Protestant Christianity.
This statement is incorrect. While there might have been instances of cultural exchange and blending of religious practices, it is not accurate to say that Europeans as a whole adopted American Indian religious customs into Protestant Christianity during the Age of Discovery.
In summary, the correct answers to the question are:
- New foods and resources were brought back to European markets.
- Many of the indigenous peoples of newly discovered lands were killed.
