Colonization is (supposedly) when a people move to a new, uninabited, or poorly-inhabited land and settle there (i.e. Europeans moving to the Americas from the 15th century onwards). Conquering is the systematic subjugation of a people by another (i.e. the Romans invading North Africa) where the conquerors institute their own political systems and laws. The former is supposed to be a peaceful act but the Native Americans, to name just one group in a "colonized" country, might well see what occurred to their culture and country as a "conquering". The former process occurs by stealth, the latter by brute force. The end result is often the same.
