      1. Evidence of human settlements in the Caribbean dates back to...
        1. 31,000 BCE.
        2. 3,100 BCE.
        3. 310 BCE.
        4. 310 CE.
        1. The earliest archaeological evidence of human settlement in Hispaniola dates to about 3600 BCE, but the reliability of these finds is questioned. Consistent dates of 3100 BCE appear in Cuba.
      2. Which three islands did Christopher Columbus find on his first voyage?
        1. Jamaica, Cuba, and Barbuda
        2. Antigua, Hispaniola, and Dominica
        3. Bahamas, Hispaniola, and Cuba
        4. Antigua, Cuba, and Dominica
        1. During the first voyage of the explorer Christopher Columbus (mandated by the Spanish crown to conquer) contact was made with the Lucayans in the Bahamas and the Taíno in Cuba and the northern coast of Hispaniola, and a few of the native people were taken back to Spain.
      3. What did the native population have that the Spanish desired?
        1. Weapons
        2. Gold
        3. Cacao
        4. Shelter
        1. Small amounts of gold were found in their personal ornaments and other objects such as masks and belts. The Spanish, who came seeking wealth, enslaved the native population and rapidly drove them to near-extinction.
      4. Why did the native population decrease after the Spanish settled in the Caribbean?
        1. Native women were sent to Spain
        2. Lack of food
        3. Tribal Warfare
        4. European diseases
        1. The native populations shrank due to imported European diseases.
      5. In response to the decrease in the native population, what did the Spanish do?
        1. They brought more settlers from Spain.
        2. They imported slaves from Africa.
        3. They abandoned most of their settlements.
        4. They tried to heal the sick natives.
        1. As the native populations shrank due to imported European diseases, African slaves began to be used instead beginning in 1502. The enslavement of Africans in Spanish America did not officially end until 1886.
      6. What were the economies of the colonies based upon?
        1. Sugar
        2. Gold
        3. Corn
        4. Whiskey
        1. The history of Caribbean agricultural dependency is closely linked with European colonialism which altered the financial potential of the region by introducing a plantation system. Much like the Spanish enslaved indigenous Indians to work in gold mines, the seventeenth brought a new series of oppressors in the form of the Dutch, the English, and the French. By the middle of the eighteenth century sugar was Britain's largest import which made the Caribbean that much more important as a colony.
      7. Even after slavery was abolished, why were conditions for blacks nearly the same?
        1. The was no work in the cities.
        2. They were unskilled and had no other opportunities.
        3. The colonial rules controlled the prices of products.
        4. All of the above
        1. The new system in place was similar to the previous as it was based on white capital and black labor. The cities that did exist offered limited opportunities to citizens and almost none for the unskilled masses who had worked in agriculture their entire lives. The products produced brought in no profits for the countries since they were sold to the colonial occupant buyer who controlled the price the products were sold at. This resulted in extremely low wages with no potential for growth since the occupant nations had no intention of selling the products at a higher price to themselves.
      8. Which Caribbean country was the first to gain independence?
        1. Aruba
        2. Cuba
        3. Haiti
        4. Jamaica
        1. Haiti, the former French colony of Saint-Domingue on Hispaniola was the first Caribbean nation to gain independence from European powers when in 1791, a slave rebellion that became the Haitian Revolution under the leadership of Toussaint l'Ouverture established Haiti as a free, black republic by 1804. Haiti became the world's oldest black republic, and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. The remaining two-thirds of Hispaniola were conquered by Haitian forces in 1821. In 1844, the newly-formed Dominican Republic declared its independence from Haiti.
      9. In 1823, what prohibited European nations from colonizing in the Americas?
        1. The Magna Carta
        2. The Declaration of Independence
        3. The Bill of Rights
        4. The Monroe Doctrine
        1. The Monroe Doctrine is a U.S. doctrine which, on December 2, 1823, proclaimed that European powers were no longer to colonize or interfere with the affairs of the newly independent nations of the Americas. The United States planned to stay neutral in wars between European powers and their colonies. However, if later on, these types of wars were to occur in the Americas, the United States would view such action as hostile. President James Monroe first stated the doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress, a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States.
      10. Who were the pirates of the Caribbean?
        1. Escaped slaves seeking revenge on slave owners.
        2. European soldiers.
        3. Thieves who robbed European ships.
        4. Slave traders.
        1. Piracy in the Caribbean resulted from the lucrative but illegitimate opportunities for common seamen to attack European merchant ships (especially Spanish fleets sailing from the Caribbean to Europe) and seize their valuable cargo. A practice that increased in the 17th century. Piracy was sometimes given "legal" status by colonial powers, especially England and the Netherlands, in the aim to weaken their rivals.
