Interaction with the environment
In the revolution of Rio de la plata many countries took place of fighting Spain for their freedom. Río de la Plata consisted of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, these countries played a major role against the Spaniards. During all the time that the Spanish travelled back and forth from their homeland to the new world they brought many things to the Americas such as chicken pox, pneumonic plague, cholera, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, typhus, tuberculosis and whooping cough. When the Spanish first arrived in the Americas most native people died because they didn't have an immunity to any of these diseases, but after many years of living among them they got used to the diseases. When the Spaniards first discovered the Americas they didn't only conquer land, they killed many innocent natives because they accidentally brought diseases that swept many countries.
