Although in modern terms we could consider the Conquering of the North American continant as a genocide, it was not considered such by men of those times. They viewed it as a war like any other, with no intention of destroying an entire race. But it could be argued that the "Genocide" began around 1516 A.D. with the arrival of the first Conquistadors from Spain.
