The Spaniards enslaved the Arawaks primarily for economic exploitation. They sought to extract resources, particularly gold, from the Caribbean islands and needed a labor force to mine and cultivate the land. The Arawaks were often forced into labor under brutal conditions, leading to significant population decline due to violence and diseases introduced by the Europeans. This exploitation was driven by the Spaniards' desire for wealth and power in the New World.
