The Taíno on Hispaniola suffer more acutely than the Europeans, who have brought smallpox, measles, and typhus, which are deadly to the native peoples.
Mostly disease, but also murder and slavery will wipe out the Taíno within a generation.
La Isabela having barely survived, Columbus decides in 1496 to abandon it in favor of a new settlement.
Preparing to depart for Spain in 1496, he leaves his brother Bartholomew in charge with instructions to move the settlement to a site on the south coast of Hispaniola, now Santo Domingo.
