Detailed Solution

Potatoes were not instrumental in colonising the faraway lands. In the mid-16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese became the first European countries to conquer America. Their conquest was aided by the employment of disease germs such as smallpox, as well as the traditional military weaponry and military strength. Gunpowder was also used to conquer lands and suppress revolts in the colonised places. Potatoes became a valuable item of trade but did not help colonise new places.
