      When you do that on someone else’s land?

      We call that colonialism and the people who’s land it was generally aren’t too thrilled

      Yes? Especially if the territory of that state is forcibly taken away from others who are living on it

      Creating the United States was similarly terrible as it involved the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Same with Australia. Same with South Africa. Same with Rhodesia.

      Forcibly taking someone’s home and cleansing an area of an ethnicity is certainly regarded as one of the worst actions a group of people can do. And rightly so
