Consequences of Columbus's voyage on the Tainos and Europe

When Columbus arrived in the Caribbean, he met the Taino people. In this video, Kim explores the consequences of Columbus's voyage for the Taino people, as well as the changes wrought in Europe by Spain's New World exploits.

[thetrio]

My social studies teacher made me watch this :(

[Mangoes]

Dam bruh it's mad funny how a lot of the comments are literally people saying how they were forced to watch this vid because of class. Same here man :((.

[clanaz]

Watching this because it's interesting and it's always good to know more. If your teachers are forcing you, try to pick up a different Playlist course that would appeal to you, and watch it when you have time. Cheers

i understand this topic better now thank you so much

Can someone tell me: How did Columbus describe the Taino people to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella?

[chissstardestroyer]

And the reference to enslaving the natives managed to tick off his sponsor, Isabella, who got him to withdraw from that by threatening to pull his funding it seems.

You know there still Tainos alive and most had to mix with spaniels and Africans, that's why we have an extensive mix community in the Dominican Republic.

There were Tainos on Puerto Rico and probably other islands as well. This is the first time I've heard they were on Haiti too. A follow up would be nifty talking about all the native peoples of the Antilles. I always thought that barbacoa and huracan were from the language of the Caribs and they were certainly more aggressive than the Tainos. Great video though. Love the use of the text as well, very neat. Oh and in resonse to Koffy PR (who probably knows this already) the Tainos finally got very skeptical of the Spanish being gods and drowned one of them in a river on Puerto Rico (as I remember) and figured they would make it up to the "gods" if the guy lived, but otherwise if he died they would know they weren't gods and they could resist them. But the Spanish were unbelievably brutal. Lots of Taino culture left on Puerto Rico, and some excellent books in Spanish as well about Itiba and her people on Puerto Rico.

1000 year old skull dna proves Taino still have descendants many Puerto Ricans are one fourth to one eighth Taino .

They looked like the rock??? Amazing. You're crazy

[peterwu]

These videos are well done - finally a decent video about Columbus without all the nonsense. However, I wonder what the source is for the population numbers presented here.

[soniawallace]

It is so interesting I love your videosite one day I'm scribe to one of your video

[jandunn]

Taino are still living in the DNA of present tense is more appropriate. It is sad that Columbus saw these nice people as commodities. The beginning of our environmental crisis. We need to get rid of his holiday.

Is there a way for you to add Spanish subtitles to this video, please? Thank you in advance. Richfield Public Schools IT.

[Inlawwetrust]

Spain need to give back all that gold what you think

[chissstardestroyer]

If this is Columbus's letter; he was clearly deluding himself about whom he had met.

[chissstardestroyer]

How do we know that they were probably matrilineal?
