The first set of Europeans to the Caribbean were primarily Spanish explorers, with Christopher Columbus being the most notable among them. Columbus, sailing under the Spanish flag, reached the Bahamas in 1492 during his quest for a westward route to Asia. His voyages marked the beginning of European exploration and colonization in the Caribbean region. Other European nations followed, but the Spanish were the first to establish a lasting presence.

How did Christianity come to the Caribbean?

When Columbus set foot on West Indies, now known as the Caribbean. I wrote "set foot" because Columbus did not discover the Caribbean. It was already populated when he went there. The Spanish kingdom established in the Caribbean a political system called the "Encomienda system" where they employed governors over the Caribbean lands. They were called "conquistadores". One of their many responsibilities was to convert the indigenous population to Christianity. In the caribbean, such a system was set up in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hispanola and Trinidad.
