I could be wrong, but to me those words describe the initial phase. Once established as a society, the rest involves people moving into this society, which I would call immigration.

More Englishmen moving to the 13 colonies, I would call immigration. More Americans pushing into Native land is imo more accurately an invasion.

The thing is, invasion without immigration following it might kill a lot of the original people but doesn’t displace them as a whole.
