Herbert Spencer is another early conquest theorist to have a significant influence on later conquest theorists. He developed his theory independently of Dühring, and his theory is one of the most comprehensive of conquest theories.

One of the earliest Conquest Theorists is arguably Eugen Dühring.
Unfortunately, none of his principal works seems to have been translated into English (I might be wrong).
Yet, Engels’s Anti-Dühring does provide a good summary of his Theory of Force.
