There are theories that there were major issues with North American native populations before European contact, including the abandonment of various pueblo settlements in the American southwest and collapse of civilization in the Mississippi River Basin.
So you had the equivalent of the Bronze Age collapse occurring in most of North America, then sea peoples come from Europe with very virulent diseases and a desire to take over the land.
That's wild, I did not know this. Maybe bronze age collapse is the great filter! Lol
