The history of the Caribbean people did not begin when the Europeans came. Way before the Europeans landed on the region, the islands were home to a native population of around 750,000 people composed of three groups: the Ciboney or Guanahuatebey, Taino Arawak, and Carib.
In 1497 Christopher Columbus founded an island in the Caribbean which then signaled the start of the Spanish colonization. The Spanish Empire claimed the Caribbean and most of Latin America. Around the 1600s the British, French, and Dutch seized Caribbean territories from the Spanish empire. The US then started colonizing parts of the Caribbean in the 1900s.
