“The Columbian Exchange was a major historical event because it had both a positive impact and negative impact for the world.” Major positive consequences that resulted from the Columbian Exchange were. European governments, companies, selling crops that would sell for a lot and they would get lots of money. My second thought is that Europeans also brought wheat, barley, rye, sugar, bananas, and citrus, among other crops. My third positive example is the transfer of plants, animals, knowledge, and technology that changed the world.
