Quoting Columbus himself: "their lack of modern weaponry and even metal-forged swords or pikes is a tactical vulnerability, I could conquer the whole of them with 50 men, and govern them as I pleased."

The court of Spain convicted Columbus for "Barbaric acts of torture" - IE: the original term used for Genocide; as well as the personal murder of over 500,000 men, women and children. King Ferdinand officially pardoned him and his brothers.
