Smallpox in the Americas: Origins QuizOnline version

Origins and spread in the Americas

by Deanna VanKoughnett
1

Smallpox only affected children and the elderly, sparing most of the adult population.

2

Indigenous populations deliberately spread smallpox to European settlers to protect their territories.

3

Smallpox outbreaks led to severe labour shortages among indigenous communities.

4

Smallpox wiped out an estimated 40-50% of the Aztec population within a year of its arrival.

5

The Spanish conquistadors had no knowledge of the impact their diseases would have on indigenous populations.

6

Smallpox scars left survivors disfigured, which was often seen as a mark of immunity.

7

Smallpox was brought to the Americas by European explorers in the early 16th century.

8

Smallpox could be completely prevented by wearing protective clothing and masks.

9

The spread of smallpox significantly weakened the Aztec army, making it easier for the Spanish to conquer them.

10

Indigenous populations had a natural immunity to smallpox, so the disease had little impact on them.

11

Smallpox outbreaks in the Americas started long after the Spanish conquest was completed.

12

Indigenous healers successfully cured smallpox with herbal medicines and traditional practices.

13

The Europeans used smallpox infected blankets as a biological weapon during the conquest of Mexico.

14

The Aztec population declined drastically from an estimated 25 million to less than 2 million by 1600, partly due to diseases like smallpox.

15

Smallpox epidemics caused widespread famine as there were not enough healthy people to harvest crops.

16

Smallpox was one of the deadliest diseases introduced to the Americas, alongside measles and typhus.

17

The Aztec Empire had advanced vaccines that protected them from European diseases.

18

Smallpox is caused by a virus that spreads through close contact and respiratory droplets
