i would say it was mostly invasion, because of the riches and people they stole from what places they found. the Spanish would raid towns to get riches and enslave people, and they wouldn't even control the town. the English and french would help out the natives with food and religion, when the natives would give them riches. so the age of exploration had more invasion than exploration, because after they claimed the east coast most natives would be wiped out by disease.
