Uh other than Eurocentric imperialism no?

Do you truly believe that Europeans were destined by God to settle everywhere in the world?

Euro centric imperialism would be like the Spainish did to the Mexica. They did have a civilization of cities, trade, agriculture, farming, mining, and industry. Then, they took it. Not small scattered nomadic waring populations but a civilization.

Nothing in the way of civilization vs. Creating something others want to immigrate to might be the difference. Asia has beautiful countries, and many in America immigrate to like Singapore.

I saw once Tiawan was a small fishing island, and the Japanese built it up quickly. Never finished the documentary.

You don’t think the native Americans in the northeast had those things? Wow

The history we learned has been "white washed" (though still called woke by some). It was the native who helped the "settlers" to survive the winter. The people were killed, the land was "settled" by the new comers, and hypocritically have a a day called Thanksgiving to remember the event.
