True enough, but how was it different from the colonization
of any other country? This group wants that group out, and
so they kill as many of that group as necessary. Pick a
country anywhere in the world, and the "this" group is there because they killed off the "that" group.

Iceland?

It's difficult to apply that to much of Europe. What group
did my ancestors kill off to become English? The Romans
didn't kill us off. The Spanish tried, Hitler tried, but
nobody else has had any luck at it since then.

Really! I wonder what I was, counting great-grandparents, 3 were alleged to be Irish, 1 Scottish, 2 English and 2 Welsh? Now I'm American and my children have several other European ancestral strains. Who killed off who?

I'm back to about 1750 with my ancestors and only a few came from outside the English counties of the West Midlands, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. There's one from Sussex and one from Suffolk.
