Tobacco and sugar
The first Europeans in the Caribbean were the Spanish who settle in Hispaniola in 1494 and followed quickly into Puerto Rico, Cuba and Jamaica. They were followed by the French and the Dutch who settled throughout the lesser Antilles. The British arrived in in 1614 getting a toehold on St. Kitts, which they shared with the French in 1624, followed by Barbados and the taking of Jamaica from the Spanish in 1655.
