What was the main cause of death for most of the indigenous people in Hispaniola?

The main cause of death for most indigenous people in Hispaniola after the arrival of Europeans was disease. European colonizers brought with them pathogens like smallpox, influenza, and measles, to which the indigenous population had no immunity. This led to devastating epidemics that significantly reduced their numbers. Additionally, violence and harsh treatment from colonizers further contributed to their decline.
