Why not others?

Hans — 10/17/2007 8:48:10 AM (archived)

Or do you actually believe only the natives of the Americas were invaded and lost their lands?

That occurance was rather common in all lands at all times - until recently, ask the Basque, Celts, Ainu, etc, etc.

Besides the people in the Americias didn't 'broadcast' they were to busy making their own empires and raiding one another.
