europes large population forced migration to the americas.

europeans and africans joined forces to attack indigenous peoples.
european explorers had excellent geographic knowledge.

Explanation:

In the late 1400s - early 1500s, European - introduced diseases like smallpox decimated indigenous populations in the Americas, weakening their ability to resist European conquest. Large - scale population migration was not the main reason for dominance. There is no evidence of coordinated European - African attacks on indigenous peoples at that time. While geographic knowledge was useful, disease was a more decisive factor.

Answer:

European diseases killed many people in the Americas.
