Europeans had an extremely large impact on Native Americans, both in positive and negative ways.

Negative ways are the most widely known and form the majority. Many Natives were killed either directly (through combat) or indirectly (through diseases). Their land was taken away from them and many of them were slaves or plantation workers. Most of them were also relocated across the Americas as well. All this has led to the incredible decline in the Native American population, which is why they are actually considered to be somewhat 'endangered'.

Positive ways can also be found, however. Native Americans lived in tribes and these tribes had both allies and enemies. When Europeans came, not all were mean. The Spanish were destructive against the Natives, the French were friends with the Natives, and the British were just intermediate. The Europeans traded with the Natives and exposes the Natives to weapons, for example. This allowed the Natives to fight their enemies more destructively. Despite war being a terrible thing, this is actually considered a positive impact because it modernized the Natives. Also hidden in the previous statement was another positive impact: trade.

The Age of Exploration and European imperialism of the Americas occurred just before the Protestant Reformation.

Many Catholics also migrated to the Americas and they were more successful in spreading Catholicism than the Protestants were in Protestantism.
