How did the meeting between Christopher Columbus and the Taino change the world?

Answer 1

The Taíno society was arguably destroyed in the 18th century, decimated by introduced diseases, and forced assimilation into the plantation economy that Spain imposed in its Caribbean colonies, with its subsequent importation of African slave workers. However, the main cause for the disappearance of this culture was the butchering by the Spaniards. It is argued that there were substantial mestizage as well as several Indian pueblos that survived into the 19th Century in Cuba. The Spaniards who first arrived in the Bahamas, Cuba and Hispaniola in 1492, and later in Puerto Rico, did not bring women. They took Taíno wives in civil marriages, and had mestizo children.[1]
