On the Fact that Whenever There's a Clash Between Two Civilizations the More Advanced and Powerful One Will Invariably Win (Just Ask the Ojibwa, Victimized by the Sioux, a Half Dozen African Tribes Decimated by the Zulu, the People of Modern-Day Ukraine Crushed by the Mongols, etc., etc.)

In fact if you go back far enough you'll see that the borders of virtually every country had as its currency the blood of others. It's just how it was done back then.......Sorry but, yeah.
