People would also nurture different animals and plants, and these facilitate there own unique microbes and pathogens across the continents. The trans-Atlantic trade would bring Europeans to the other continents. They did bring with them diseases, gun powder, and Christianity. They would take back silver to Europe, and it would end the cash crisis.
