Did 90% of Native Americans die of disease after the Europeans arrive, and when did it happen?

by The_Manchurian

I mean, if the death rate was that high, was it something that happened in a very short time or over a longer time? When did it start? When did Native Americans stop dying of European diseases (at least, stop dying much faster from them than white people did)?

Was it the same in North and South America?

There's always room for discussion, but perhaps the section Disease in the Americas from our FAQ will answer your inquiry.
