The extinction of the Caribs and the Arawak peoples was primarily caused by European colonization in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This led to the introduction of diseases such as smallpox, for which the indigenous populations had no immunity, resulting in significant population declines. Additionally, violent conflicts, forced labor, and displacement due to colonization further decimated their communities. Over time, these factors combined to severely diminish their numbers and cultural presence.

Why did the Caribs hunt the Arawak?

The Caribs hunted the Arawak primarily due to territorial expansion and competition for resources. The Caribs, known for their warrior culture, sought to dominate the Caribbean islands, which led them to attack and enslave Arawak communities. This conflict was fueled by the Caribs' desire for land, food, and control over trade routes. Additionally, the Caribs viewed the Arawak as potential sources of labor and captives for their own societies.
