Conquer the World Europe was the European division of Conquer The World Records. The European division was founded when Mike Warden (2) traveled to Europe in the summer of 1995 as a tour roadie for Belgian hardcore band Blindfold. Mike had previously released the Blindfold LP "Restrain the Thought", and a Shortsight (another Belgian hardcore band) 7" "Why Spend Time Learning", in 1993. In 1995 he also released Belgian hardcore band Nations On Fire's CD "Death of the Pro-Lifer".
While traveling around Europe and distributing Conquer the World Records releases himself at merch tables, Mike realized that there was a need for a local distributor of his record label's released in Europe in order to save on postage and currency conversion losses for European fans. He struck up a deal with Green Hell Records out of Münster, Germany and the two of them co-released Conquer the World Europe's first output in 1995, the Upright 7" "Silent Oppression". Over the next few years, Green Hell Records/Conquer the World Europe solely distributed Conquer the World Records releases in Europe, until 1998 when another co-release was planned for a re-issue of Spit Acid's 1994 self-titled LP. Another co-release followed with Vanilla (3)'s album "Social Evening & French Divorce". According to Mike Warden, Green Hell Records' owner/Conquer the World Europe's manager withheld payments from European sales which nearly bankrupted Conquer the World Records and forced Warden to put his record label on hiatus for a year to recover financially. Because of the financial dispute, Conquer the World Europe closed down in 1998/1999.
