Answer:

The correct answer is "invasion".

Explanation:

Many historians refer to Columbus's voyage to America as an "invasion" instead of a "discovery" because land was taken by force.

Some people regard the Spanish conquer as a "genocide" since the original inhabitants were killed. Those who survived were forced to acquire a new language, a new religion (they were forced to change of God), and new customs.
