Columbus took some Taíno people back to Spain primarily to showcase his discoveries and demonstrate the potential for exploitation of the New World. By bringing them to Spain, he aimed to provide firsthand accounts of the indigenous people to the Spanish court, which could help secure further support and resources for his voyages. Additionally, it was a tactic to establish dominance and highlight the riches of the lands he encountered, reinforcing European interest in colonization. Ultimately, this action reflected the broader patterns of exploitation and colonization that characterized European encounters with indigenous populations.
