Is there a way to prevent such large scale African slavery in the Caribbean? The Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, Cuba, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico, all had fewer slaves than the British, French and Dutch colonies did, because there was a lot of European settlement and slave importation was restricted. On the other hand, I don't think it's plausible for Spain to keep the entire Caribbean as they never settled outside of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and Jamaica and their mismanagement meant that Jamaica and the western third of Hispaniola were eventually lost to England and France, respectively.
