What is the difference between conquered and captured?

Shathadruthi said:   1 decade ago
Conquer is to capture the entire place.

Capture is to catch only some people or a person.

Conquer is to overcome and capture means to take by force.

Conquer means complete control or successfully dealing with problem whereas Capture shows taking something forcely.

I feel it must be conquered rather than capturing.

Sonam said:   1 decade ago
I agree with rehana, it should be conquerd.

@shivani: There is no negative side in the word "capture".
Shatadruthi is absolutely correct

Well. In a war enemy soldiers are captured not conquered although they seems to have the same meaning " to gain control / occupy". So it's occupying market is not less than some war :).

Capture also says "get attention of"...in this context capture fits with this meaning.

Keerthikanth said:   1 decade ago
Conquer a kingdom.
Capture a person.

In this context capture the market is the right one.
