Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D (disease) because it is well documented that a series of epidemics, likely introduced by European settlers, spread through the Iroquois population during this time period and caused a significant decline in their numbers. Choices A and B (forced labor and war) may have contributed to the overall strain on the Iroquois population, but they are not specifically linked to the decline during this time period. Choice C (famine) is also a possibility, but there is less evidence to support it as a primary cause.
