The discovery doctrine, also called doctrine of discovery, is a concept of public international law that was promulgated by European monarchies in order to legitimize the colonization of lands outside Europe. Between the mid-fifteenth century and the mid-twentieth century, this idea allowed European entities to seize lands inhabited by indigenous peoples under the guise of "discovering new land", those lands not inhabited by Christians.[1]
