By the moment of ward of Europeans Indians still were at the stage of a primitive-communal system and were not aimed to show resistance Christopher Columbus's who has jolted in October, 1492 in one of fakes of island to small order. However Spaniards have got down to a gain of Cuba only in 1510. After conquest of Indians the rigid colonial regime has been installed. By 1537 almost all indigenous population of island has been exterminated. With building on Cuba plantatsionnogo equipments on dilution of a sugarcane the requirement for a low-cost man power has sharply increased, therefore the Spanish conquerors began to import on island of Negroes-slaves from Africa.

Within the next centuries Spain was actively aimed to restrict industry development in this colony, hoping ispolzvat it is exclusive as a raw appendage. England struggling with Spain by the seas, in turn, dreamt to take possession of Cuba.
