Was the land of America really “discovered” by the people from the West? Or this land is here and just found?

Since the people from the Western found and colonized America, they expanded their territories to all over the world. After they colonized all the parts of the continent of America, they “discovered” so many islands in the Pacific Ocean and made those islands as stepping stones to exploit their market in the eastern countries like India, Philippine, Indonesia, and etc.

Many of those colonized countries succeeded to gain independence, but their mind set is totally screwed up (I would say capitalized) and they had to go through many economic, ethnic, and social struggles with supports from the Western countries.

Many of the names of islands or places in somewhere of Asia are given by the United States or other Western countries (Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Marshal Islands, and many).

I sometimes get confused if this is really a globalization that everybody agrees with or westernization that everybody is forced or manipulated to live with…..
