It is known as conquest in the process leading to the occupation of a given area, using force to achieve this, we should stress the fact that not always required strength as there are those who use methods such as equalization of people to achieve said occupation. Throughout the history of humanity, these types of events have been very frequent, being the best known by most people, those that took place in American lands, specifically with the arrival of European peoples to that region. where the native Indians were placed under the command of the Spanish.
In ancient times during the time of the Roman Empire, it was considered that the conquest had a more legitimate meaning, if it was obtained by force, it should be noted that the Romans had a vast army that made it much easier to occupya territory. On the other hand, in America the conquest that the Europeans obtained over the natives and their territory was due to the advances in weapons that the Europeans possessed and that the natives, on the contrary, were far below this technology. In any of the cases, the result that occurred after the conquest took place was the implementation of customs and cultures in the region, in addition to the fact that the natives were automatically under the orders of the conquerors.
It is important to note that when talking about the conquest of America, the fact that depending on each region in that continent should be defined, since if for example the conquest of North America is compared with the South of it, the facts that they were carried out without a doubt that they were totally different. One of the most marked differences between these two regions is the fact that, on the one hand, in the south, a conquest was carried out in the first instance, which would be succeeded by a colonization of the territory.and its peoples, while in the north the process was the opposite, colonization took place first and then conquest. It should be noted that when speaking of colonization, it refers to the fact of occupying certain lands, but without using force to do so.
