-Colonization: Establish political control on the indigenous people of an area. This is word using in 18th century.

The conquest of America was done from 15th century to 19.century, but the most important periods were 16th and 17th centuries. The first one was the period of Iberian conquest and colonization, only by Portuguese people and Castilian people. The second onde was the period of the rest of countries. At the first period, the richest part of Americas become Spanish.
