[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Few (if any) historical empires cared about the human rights of the countries / regions they invaded and conquered throughout history. Power and violence are themes throughout. I am not sure there were really any completely peaceful people.

Even in Indegenous groups - they attacked each other's tribes and took each other as slaves, plundered the camps, and did horrible things to people - before colonialism even arrived.

Some of the countries under the Commonwealth were  British protectorates. Where Britain stepped in - not to colonize but to aid smaller countries in their defense against other attacking forces.

Roman, Ottoman, Persian, Mongol, Russian, Spanish, Han Empires etc - the British Empire is only one of many that has trampled on the rights of others. However that seems to be how history unfolded globally.

I wonder what countries have never lost to an invasion or attack or been colonized and are still Indigenous in population? Anyone know of any?[/quote]

This. The entire world is built on the back of another civilization that was conquered. So all the performative outrage these days is kind of annoying after a awhile.[/quote]
