Not justifying past actions but for most of history land conquest was very common. Nobody asks who the Sioux conquered for their land. People get mad when you point out that slavery has been practiced everywhere, but I fear way too many American students think that the US is the only country in history to conquer people and take their land or have slaves.

That's by design.
Sad but true.
