The question of whether America was conquered or discovered depends on perspective. From the viewpoint of European explorers, such as Christopher Columbus, it was "discovered" in 1492, marking the beginning of European colonization.

Thus, both terms can apply, reflecting different historical narratives.

While the "Native Americans," the Norse, the Chinese and perhaps others discovered America earlier, the discovery by Columbus in 1492 is considered the "official" date of discovery becasue that is the discovery from which the modern world descends.
