If its wrong for Americans to call the US "their land" since it was stolen from the Natives, does that mean Mexico doesnt belong to Spanish people?

Since they stole it from the Aztecs who owned it long before the current day Mexican people ever did?

I guess the real bleeding a-holes could go back to the beginning of time to arbitrate wars with resultant land grabs. Eastern Europe would be interesting...🤣.

It would mean that the Hittites, (Turkey), owns Iran...the Macedonians, (Balkans), also own Iran, and own Greece, Egypt, and Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India.

So many people have fought over so many different lands, and so much land has had so many different "owners" it makes my head spin.

The north American continent has the distinction of having been conquered by various tribes with no written records since man first traveled here, so we can pretend that the various tribes that exist today are the only ones which ever existed.

I think we do have to admit that conquered people need to accept that they lost the wars.
