These crops were important to Europe in that they diversified the food supply for many impoverished Europeans. Although corn is a very American crop, its uses in Europe were widespread, many till today. An example of an undiversified crop was the French Revolution where peasants relied on the wheat and flour to make bread. Once these not so resilient crops were destroyed by harsh cold, the peasants began to starve and could not afford to buy into the dwindling food supply. Potatos grow underneath the ground and cannot be burned or easily destroyed by climate. However, the Irish used the crop so extensively that it replaced wheat as main diet. The Great Potato famine in Ireland was caused by a mildew that caused the potato to mold and crumble. Millions starved and were forced to flee the land of hunger.
First of all, that question makes no sence. Second of all, corn and potatos were so important to Europe because of trading goods for sugar, spices, etc.
they were inexpensive to grow and highly nutritious. corn and potatoes helped people live healthier and longer lives.
