The Caribs were not defeated by the Spanish primarily due to their fierce resistance and guerrilla warfare tactics, which made it difficult for the Spanish to launch successful military campaigns against them. Additionally, the Caribs had a strong knowledge of the local geography, enabling them to evade capture and mount surprise attacks. Their mobility and adaptability, along with a deep-seated warrior culture, helped them sustain their autonomy in the face of colonial aggression. Ultimately, while the Spanish sought to conquer and colonize, the Caribs' resilience and strategic responses allowed them to maintain their independence for a time.
