The era where many plants, animals, diseases, and people were exchanged between the Old World and the New World is called the Columbian Exchange. This exchange began after Christopher Columbus's voyages in the late 15th century and significantly reshaped societies and ecosystems on both sides of the Atlantic. It led to the introduction of new agricultural products, livestock, and diseases, profoundly affecting the cultures and populations of both worlds.
