Shortly after the departure from Dominica, another island to the north came into view of Columbus on November 3rd, 1493. When Columbus landed on the island, he named it Guadeloupe. He was surprised by the warriors, who fed themselves by killing, and eating other men, called Karibs. Columbus' fleet fought fiercely against the Karibs, and they have exterminated all of them in the island by the third day since Columbus landed on Guadeloupe.


This event was very important for all civilizations, because the defeat of Karibs by Columbus' kind of opened the door of Guadeloupe for Spain, China, and more.
