History of Tobago[edit]
- ... that indigenous resistance by mainland Caribs and Island Caribs played a major rule in the failure of Dutch, British, French, and Courlanders attempts to colonise Tobago in the 17th century? Source: When during the seventeenth century the island’s possession was fiercely contested by the Spanish, Dutch, English and Courlanders (Latvians), apart from the rivalry among the European nations themselves, owing to the resistance of joined forces of the Kalina and the Island Caribs these attempts at settlement on Tobago were thwarted. It was only due to the sharp demographic decline of the Amerindians in the West Indies and the Guianas towards the end of the seventeenth century that their power waned. (p.177 [1])
