We didn't "steal" land. We conquered land. People today have no concept of what the world was like back then. It was the norm. People conquered each other all the time. Was it "nice"? No. But we weren't unique in doing so, and it doesn't reflect badly upon anyone alive today.
Everyone was conquering everyone back then, that’s basically how the slave trade started. African tribes conquering each other and selling the losers into slavery. The Indians were conquering each other for millennia before we even showed up.
Nuclear missiles have impeded the typical conquest present throughout human history.
We still see small scale invasions such as Kuwait, Crimea, Vietnam, etc. And certainly internal subversion attempts. But not large scale wars invading major nuclear powers. The power to kill will always trump all other forms of power, and nukes are pretty good at it.
Yep, that diversity thing didn't work out well for the A.I.

We had a war. Good, old fashioned, war. We won. The Indians lost. The end.

I've wondered this too.
