Question

Can Columbus be held responsible for the devastation the indigenous people went through from the spainiards

Answer 1

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Columbus and the Destruction of Native peoples. The first and most important thing to understand is that the Native American population on Hispaniola (and later, Cuba) was destroyed over the course of a century or less, and that the Spanish were primarily responsible for this. Certainly Columbus was not a perfect person by any means, and was a man of many flaws.
