Conquest of the New World Scenario Aaaah, the Conquest of the New World. Dreams of Wealth and Power. Over centuries The Americas have inspired Europeans to take on the perilous journey across the ocean into the unknown. Me and my imagination first encountered the New World during my childhood in books by Karl May and others.…
