Note
One spelling does double duty, as with most regular verbs. It is the plain past (the army conquered the city) and the participle that follows have or be (has conquered, was conquered). It carries every meaning of conquer, from defeating an enemy to overcoming a fear. The older sense of winning something by effort, as in conquered fame, now sounds dated. Before a noun it works as an adjective: a conquered people.
