What REALLY Happened When Columbus Landed in 1492

The encounter between Columbus and the indigenous peoples was, at its heart, a meeting of worlds that could have shared so much but would instead spiral into conflict, loss, and transformation. Yet for that brief moment, on those moonlit beaches, there was harmony—a fleeting vision of what might have been. Columbus had discovered for Spain a "new world", but what he did not realize at first, however, was that this "new world" was already inhabited, its people living lives so vibrant, so foreign, that he and his crew would find themselves utterly entranced. He called these people "Indigios", the Spanish word for Indigenous or native people, which the English would later translate to "Indian". The Taino natives called this island, "Guanahan", but Columbus christened the island "San Salvador." Columbus, though deeply moved by the Taíno's generosity and the Caribs' strength, began to frame their world through the lens of conquest. In his journals, he wrote of their potential as laborers and the wealth their land might yield. The beauty of the women, the allure of their dances, and the flavor of their feasts would soon be overshadowed by the ambitions of empire.
