The Columbian exchange had many effects on Europe because it spread important crops (such as corn), as well as deadly diseases (such as syphilus). It also made Spain a major world power.

As a result of the Columbian Exchange, many new products, people and ideas were transferred in between the Americas and Europe

the Colombian exchange affected the Europe because potatoes is an easy crop to grow, that doesn't need much water and care, Ireland was helped by this in their great depression. potatoes also tripled the population and saved many people's lives :) :)

The columbian exchange affected Europe in many ways. One way, Europe transferred germs to americas spreading disease. Also many American crops became part of european diet. The two that had an impact were potatoes and corn. They help feed Europeans without this exchange a lot more would've gone hungry.

Some species of plants and animals flourished in both areas, and some did not. There were many new animals and plants in the Americas that Europeans had never seen. And, Europeans brought plants and animals to the New World that America had never seen. The Colombian Exchange was also a cultural exchange. New agricultural developments were traded, economic activity and opportunities opened up between the New and Old Worlds, and new ideas were exchanged.
