A. It sharply decreased their population.

Explanation:

This is the greatest short-term effect of Spanish colonization on American Indians. Colonization brought many negative and positive effects on American Indians, but the most immediate and significant one was a sharp decline in their population. This was due to the diseases that the colonizers carried. As the Native Americans were not resistant to them, many died shortly after their arrival, decimating the population.

world war i had a devastating effect on german-americans and their cultural heritage. up until that point   german-americans, as a group, had been spared much of the discrimination, abuse, rejection, collective mistrust experienced by so many different racial and ethnic groups in the history of the united states. indeed, over the years, they had been viewed as a well integrated and esteemed part of american society. all of this change with the outbreak of war.
