Europeans came into contact with the Caribbean after Columbus’s momentous journeys in 1492‚ 1496 and 1498. The desire for expansion and trade led to the settlement of the colonies. The indigenous peoples‚ according to our sources mostly peaceful Tainos and warlike Caribs‚ proved to be unsuitable for slave labour in the newly formed plantations‚ and they were quickly and brutally decimated.
