Christopher Columbus and the Spanish discoverers largely ignored St. Vincent and the nearby smaller Grenadine Islands, instead focused on the search for gold and silver in Central and South America. They did embark on slave expeditions around San Vicente after the royal sanction in 1511, leading the Carib inhabitants to the steep interior, but the Spaniards made no attempt to attack the island.[3]
