The spaniard enslaved the arawaks by forcing them to find gold, food and pearls for them. A little while after they started brutalizing them and killing them off as if they were ants. The arawaks got sick off it and committed infanticied, meaning, the killed their infants just to releive them from not becoming slaves. They also committed suicide by drinking the piosonous cassava juice

WHY DID THE SPANIARD IN SLAVE THE ARAWAKS?

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.
