The statement is True; due to the Columbian Exchange, Europeans introduced diseases like smallpox and influenza to the Americas, leading to millions of deaths among Native Americans who lacked immunity. This catastrophic loss was primarily due to the isolation of Native American populations from these diseases prior to European contact. It is estimated that up to 90% of Native Americans died from such infectious diseases following European arrival.
