The European “discovery” and settlement of the Americas (the New World) – the demise and disappearance of many—but by no means all–Native American communities in the United States as an example.
Yet, acculturation was two way – ipotatoes, tomatoes , and chocolate were first domesticated by Native Americans and unknown in the rest of the world until the 16th century. Same with tobacco–a multi-billion dollar industry, a health hazard to many, a cherished part of their lives to others. Tobacco, too, was unknown in Europe and Asia prior to 1500.

Taliking of Portugal, Portugal comes from the word ‘burtaqal’ which means ‘orange’ in Arabic and was called that by the Moors when they came to Spain and the name stuck.

Many indigenous peoples, such as First Nations of Canada, Native Americans of the US, and Australian Aborigines have lost much of their traditional cultures (most evidently, languages) which have been replaced by those of the more dominant cultures. This is just one example of ‘acculturation.’ Second-language learning is a good example of acculturation on an individual level. The cultural diffusion of foods, music, religion, etc., between neighboring nations or between majority and minority groups is a good example of acculturation at the societal level.
