Who were the second set of people to come to Jamaica?

The second set of people to come to Jamaica were the Spanish, who arrived shortly after Christopher Columbus's discovery of the island in 1494. Following the Spanish, the British took control of Jamaica in the mid-17th century, establishing a colonial presence that would significantly shape the island's history and culture. The island's indigenous Taíno population had already been greatly diminished by disease and colonization by the time the Spanish and later the British arrived.
