Welcome to the Genocide Club

[Vladimir]

There are plenty of nations which were formed without genocide. A few examples off the top of my head:
- France (was united and got its national image etc etc during their defense against the English in the 100 years war)
- England (formed by an invasion - major resistance pretty much ended after Battle of Hastings due to lacking support for Harold and the prior dynasty, the locals at that time didn't think it mattered much to become ruled by the Norman dynasty)

And a few examples of entirely peacefully formed countries off the top of my head:
- Norway (became independent by a referendum)
- Iceland (gradually became free through treaties of increasing autonomy)

If you cause the eradication of a particular culture by force, you are guilty of genocide. You can't tell me that there was only one migration into Norway. I largely ignorant about Iceland but think there must have been one there as well. The "French" nation is far older than the 100 years war. The creation of England is a good example of genocide.

People tend to "get around."

I'm basing this off the definition posted some time ago in the Monestary. It's pretty general.

I'm no advocate of it and if I understand the author's intention correctly I support him.
