The timeline of ethnic groups arriving in the Caribbean began with the indigenous Taino and Carib peoples, who were present long before European contact. In 1492, Christopher Columbus's arrival marked the beginning of European colonization, primarily by the Spanish. Following this, the 17th century saw the influx of African slaves to work on plantations, as well as European settlers from countries like England, France, and the Netherlands. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, additional waves of immigrants, including East Indians, Chinese, and others, contributed to the region's diverse demographic.
