Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Caribbean was valuable for a few reasons.

1. Europeans looked to enslave native populations.

2. Crop diversity/new foods

3. Used colonies in the Caribbean to ship slaves to Americas and Europe

4. ALSO exported crops, such as sugar, to the Americas where it was used to make foods which were then shipped to Europe

Basically, Europeans wanted the Caribbean resources so they could make a profit.
