Europeans Introduce Horses to the Americas
Europeans Introduce Horses to the Americas is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Columbian Exchange in California myWorld Interactive, Grade 5.
Key Concepts
Before the arrival of Europeans, the Americas had no horses, donkeys, or cattle. The Columbian Exchange dramatically changed this when Spanish explorers and colonists brought these animals to the New World in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Initially used for transportation and warfare by the Spanish, some of these animals escaped or were traded, spreading rapidly throughout the continents.
The introduction of horses had a revolutionary impact on many Indigenous societies. Native peoples adopted the animal for transportation, which allowed them to travel farther and faster, and for hunting, which made tracking large game like bison much more efficient. The horse also became a crucial element in warfare, altering the balance of power between different groups.
