Columbus was seeking a short route to India, and for the first decade of exploration many believed that the dark-skinned natives of the Caribbean might be tribes of southern Asia. Once it became clear that it was a New World, Spanish conquistadors began to conquer and plunder, seeking gold and jewels and establishing colonies in the Caribbean and Central America.
