- European colonization of America (you know, all those Native Americans that still have to live in shitty conditions),

- Roman conquerors,

- Serbian conquerors,

- Holy Land crusades,

- Nazi holocaust..

The list goes on and on. And it always comes down to the same reasons. People wanting to exert power over other people, "liberating" them. The church in particular is especially known for that. Most wars were fought over "my god is the one true god and you have to worship him".

Does it ever stop? How can you know that those people will agree with you about what's best for them? How can you know they want to be a part of society at all?

I'm all for giving them a choice, but forcing them to live the way we think is best for them, e.g. making them give up their way of living entirely to live in brick and mortar houses and having to work factory jobs, isn't helping, it's exerting power and destroying a culture.

Except many of the indigenous people die because of diseases brought by modern man. Look up Andamanese.

> the land those people occupy represents a large earning for the other impoverished people in the country

Will you be happy if your home was destroyed to help the poor people of your country?
