The European conquest and occupation of the Americas was a major change in this area of the world. Beginning in the 1500's by the Spanish, the Native Americans they found there were slowly made irrelevant by wars and captivity. This was most evident in the islands of the Caribbean Sea and in Mexico and most of South America. Portugal laid claim to Brazil. In North America the Native Americans were either killed in wars with the Europeans or relegated to reservations. England, France and the Netherlands conquered much of this continent. Later the USA, occupied the areas that were formerly part of European conquests.
