You say stolen, everyone else says conquered.
... So, robbery on a national scale, then?
Are you new to this earth?
What's your point?
My point is that this is the history of every country.
I agree. Nation-states are built on violence.
Does that make the genocide any better?
Right, conquered is worse because it implies it's stolen via violence at a large scale. While just stolen could mean taken quietly and without violence. Thank you for addressing the seriousness of the issue.
And the Conquered get the say in Pacified or not.
