Why were 500 natives sent to Spain to be sold as slaves?

Hi, Friend!

Columbus could not find the huge wealth he had anticipated. If he could not return with gold and silver, he would need another scheme. That plan was to enslave the natives. He promised the king "slaves, as many as they shall order."

On the second voyage, begun in 1493, Columbus ordered natives to be rounded up and returned to Spain to be sold. In February 1494, several dozen Indian slaves arrived in Spain. Columbus expected them to be sold and the money used to buy cattle and supplies to be shipped to the New World.

that’s true, tatiana prouskouriakoff established that the inscriptions were primarily historical.   they recorded events in the lives of mayan rulers and their families.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
