re: #125 Dark_Falcon

You need one additional change.

As to your substantive point, I’d largely agree, but I’d point out that some conquered peoples, such as the Zulus of South Africa, were conquerors themselves. That should not be taken to mean that the UK was in the right to attack the Zulu Kingdom in 1879, but it does mean that the Zulus were not innocent either.

Start looking through history and I think the real conclusion is that no one is innocent. However, I think that is not a good argument to excuse barbaric or imperialist expansion in the current age.
