History and Entertainment
At the dawn of our era, the archipelago was inhabited by the tribes of the Arawaks. The main mean of their subsistence was the farming. In the 13th century, they were captured by the belligerent Caribbean tribes. The European discoverer of the archipelago was Christopher Columbus who visited the islands in 1493. The Spaniards could not form stable settlements because of the Caribs who constantly raided them.
