Go
back far enough, and most sovereign states have their roots in genocide and ethnic
cleansing. Heck, the whole “New” World would look very different today without them.
Not that our “Japanese” hands are clean; the Emishi owned half of Honshu during
much of the First Millennium (and I haven’t even mentioned the Ainu yet).
So
when, why, and how does “history” become history, so that “history” no longer
is “history,” but just history?
