COLLECTION OF DATA

For the information used in this collection of data were from credible historical online sources and
historians

How did the Europeans colonize the Caribbean?


The first to arrive in the Caribbean were the Spanish and that reason is why they were the first ones
to colonize. Colonization is the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the
indigenous people of an area. The colonizing of indigenous people started a year after they had their
first interaction in 1493, even thou they fought back the Europeans out number them and they brought
foreign diseases which they had no way of fighting against they lost and were enslaved for planting crop
but in 1518 an epidemic of smallpox broke and kill 90% of the indigenous people. Even those who
survived the epidemics many died because of harsh treatment and in 1548 the population of indigenous
people dwindled to 500 in that effect they started buying slaves from Africa.

Who were the Europeans to travel to Caribbeans?


The first to arrive in Caribbeans were the Spanish in 1492 led by and Italian by the name of Christopher
Columbus, almost two centuries the Dutch in 1625 settled in The United States Virgin Island (St Croix),
the French also arrived in 1625, led by a French trader Pierre Belain d’Esnanbuc they establish their first
colony on St Kitts in 1635 and the British were the ones to colonize first and was one of the most
prosperous settlements

What did they Carry to the Caribbean?


First off, the Europeans brought viruses and bacteria such as: smallpox, cholera, measles and typhus,
they also brought religion and this religion to this day is the most prolific and is Christianity it is also an
excuse they used to colonize the indigenous people even languages like English, French and Spanish
