Watching show about the Pilgrims and I of course have been aware that many native americans died due to European disease as they had no acquired immunity to things like smallpox, cholera, etc.
My question is why did not European settlers become decimated by native american diseases that they had no immunity to? Is it because there was a lack of such diseases since the population density was so different (no cities, etc.) or is there another explanation?
