To Conquer }, {

Subdue }, {
Subjugate },
{
Overcome }.
These words agree in the general idea expressed by overcome , --
that of bringing under one '
s power by the exertion of force .
Conquer is wider and more general than vanquish ,
denoting usually a succession of conflicts .
Vanquish is more individual ,
and refers usually to a single conflict .
Thus ,
Alexander conquered Asia in a succession of battles ,
and vanquished Darius in one decisive engagement .
Subdue implies a more gradual and continual pressure ,
but a surer and more final subjection .
We speak of a nation as subdued when its spirit is at last broken ,
so that no further resistance is offered .
Subjugate is to bring completely under the yoke of bondage .
The ancient Gauls were never finally subdued by the Romans until they were completely subjugated .
These words ,
when used figuratively ,
have correspondent meanings .
We conquer our prejudices or aversions by a succesion of conflicts ;
but we sometimes vanquish our reluctance to duty by one decided effort :
we endeavor to subdue our evil propensities by watchful and persevering exertions .
Subjugate is more commonly taken in its primary meaning ,
and when used figuratively has generally a bad sense ;
as ,
his reason was completely subjugated to the sway of his passions .
