You say stolen, everyone else says conquered.

My point is that this is the history of every country.

I agree. Nation-states are built on violence.

Does that make the genocide any better?

Right, conquered is worse because it implies it's stolen via violence at a large scale. While just stolen could mean taken quietly and without violence. Thank you for addressing the seriousness of the issue.
