That's the point of the issue, "unsurpassed" is a wrong adjective, the...few smelly, bearded, violent, dressed with shiny helmets and shields, over strange mitic animals called horses, fanatic...conquerors didn't have as goal the extermination of a race to get space for them. Call them vicious (love that word), that's nice, all Empires were vicious in their expansions, all conquered and destroyed, raped and burned, transmited flu and pox, gonorrhea and sifilis, and expanded with a sword in a hand and the cross in the other, but the North America colonization was
really unsurpassed, that one was, there a genocide happened and I just can laugh how you try to minimize that shameful fact comparing it with the Spanish America colonization.
The North America indians had just two options: get the fuck out of their lands and be exiled to desertic ghettos full of junk or die. And don't dare to mix your horrible untermensch gens with our perfect white DNA, you silly!
The Latin America indians had two diferent opions: to accept the only God and become subjects of Her Gracious Majesty or die. And now let's make catholic kids!
Tell me there is no diference.
You wasps are so comic.
