1492. Columbus actually discovered the Caribbean, not America. However, we give him credit because he was close. He actually was horrible at navigating. He thought he was going to Asia.... America is actually named after Amerigo Vespuci (that spelling might be incorrect) if you were curious :)
The Caribbean was first explored by the Native Americans. Christopher Columbus was among the first Europeans to explore the Caribbean.
Europeans can get to the Caribbean by ship or plane, but when they first reached the Caribbean it was by ship because planes were not yet invented.

Civilization in the Caribbean did not begin with the Europeans. Indigenous people lived in the Caribbean long before the arrival of the Europeans. If anything, the Europeans are responsible for the diversity of races in the Caribbean.
