I'm not much of a world history buff, but it would be interesting to know how many countries today consist of the actual ancestors of the original "citizens" of the "country". I would not be surprised to find that most do not, and that a little bit of "conquest" had occurred. As for the original inhabitants of North America, I don't think "their country" is the proper way to consdier it... the various tribes fought and killed each other for territory, each considered the territory to be "theirs" and "conquest" was occurring long before the Europeans arrived.
docWayne, your thought does certainly lead one to ponder our place in the grand scheme of things.
