And your point being? Is this a morally good thing or a morally wrong thing? For the native people to be eliminated? Or just a thing thing -- can't unbreak the egg thing and it really doesn't matter if its morally right or morally wrong thing?The Europeans were able to eliminate the native people for the most part in the Americas and Oceania.
I am simply presenting fact. Of course eliminating the native people was morally wrong, today the perpetrators would be found guilty of genocide.
Oh please...
No they would so NOT be found guilty of genocide!!!
What 'did' for most of the native Americans was disease NOT war!
Your comment would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
"CALIFORNIA SLAUGHTER: THE STATE-SANCTIONED GENOCIDE OF NATIVE AMERICANS
"The tally is relentlessly grim: a whole settlement wiped out in Trinity County “excepting a few children”; an Indian girl raped and left to die somewhere near Mendocino; as many as 50 killed at Goose Lake; and, two months later, as many as 257 murdered at Grouse Creek, scores of them women and children. There were the four white ranchers who tracked down a band of Yana to a cave, butchering 30. “In the cave with the meat were some Indian children,” reported a chronicle published later. One of the whites “could not bear to kill these children with his 56-calibre Spencer rifle. ‘It tore them up so bad.’ So he did it with his 38-calibre Smith and Wesson revolver.”

THE AMERICAN HOLOCAUST AND AMERICAN HOLOCAUST DENIAL
Unfortunately, there are those who wish to engage in holocaust denial. A common myth is the effort to blame the massive death toll exclusively on diseases brought by the European invaders. Like all deceptions in history there is an element of truth here. Many native Americans did die of European diseases. However, there is a very convenient effort to ignore the fact that all too many of these people became vulnerable to disease when their essentials of life were either stolen or disrupted by the invaders. Furthermore, the campaigns of direct and indirect genocide certainly killed millions all by itself.
From the initial invasion by Columbus native Americans were the targets of hundreds of years of war from the invaders. Does any honest person really believe that these wars had only minor death toll?
In the USA native Americans were driven off 99% of their land and herded into so-called "reservations", where they were subjected to some of the worst poverty and horrible living conditions in the country.

Interesting point. Those European xtians sure were a bloodthirsty, colonizing lot.
