Japanese called smallpox the "red death" and 25% of the population died.
Some immunity was built up over time but millions died of the virus.
Then when Europe reached the new world, smallpox found new victims.
It's nobody's fault, really. They didn't even know what a virus was back then.
But yeah, smallpox probably killed 1 out of every 4 Native Americans. Smallpox killed that many everywhere it went.
